Printing at miltiple pages (Tile printing)

I was in a need to print a large size photo. But my printer would not allow poster printing. The solution I found was tile printing. Tile printing is a printing process by which the original picture is divided into parts according to your printer's ability (letter, A4 etc. page) and printed. Then You'll have to join the printed pictures to get big photos. You can do tile printing by a free software named "Rasterbator". You have to download the software for tile printing (one can use it online also for tile printing).

Go to
http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/
You can download the software and install it or you can use the online gadget to get it done. Online version will allow only up to 1 MB size.

After running/ uploading file follow the instructions and you should be getting the PDF file with which you should be done.

Tips:
1. Select dot size small for small size printouts (say - two to three) and large for larger print outs.
2. Select the multicolor mood after selecting the dot size. Otherwise you'll get a black and white output as the default is black.
