crupiea Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 For printing l always first copy the image to the desktop. Then i right click on it and select print. I print in 8 x 10 size as that is the size of paper I have. It will automatically maximize the space on the paper so I dont need to fiddle with margins and the like. If it is smaller I open a word document and insert pic from there, then I can size it the way I need as word has lose ruler things on the sides and top so i can get an idea what size it will be on a sheet of paper.

spirithorse Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Greetings, I save the pattern to my PC and then open it with my graphics editing program. (I use Photoshop but, any editing program will work). After I open it in Photoshop, I can re-size the image, change the color or width of lines, etc. and then print it from the graphics editor or copy it to a document and print it from there. If you don't have a graphics editor, there are lots of free ones and many people on this forum and others that I frequent use GIMP or INKSCAPE. Taking it to the Photoshop first allows me to see exactly what size it is, etc. before printing. I can also flood the entire pattern with a different color and see if there are any floaters that have to be fixed. Good luck and God Bless!
