Cut marks on Poster go outside bounds of A4 or shrink the image

New Here ,
Sep 15, 2024 Sep 15, 2024

Hi, 

I'm trying to print a large image using the Poster option, but when I add "Cut Marks" and print it they either end up outside of the paper if I print the page at 100%, or I'm forced to shrink the picture to include cut marks. The poster needs to be in full size so I can't do that. I don't understand why the Poster option seemingly adds a border rather than shifting everything a little bit so there is a border included without changing the size of the paper. Am I doing something wrong? Is there no way to add cutmarks without changing the size of the picture or the paper?

I added a screenshot to show what I mean. Here I have made the poster into a PDF first.

Hi TheLlamacorn,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble, and the delayed response.

 

If you are still looking for a solution, here's what to check:

  1. In the Print dialog, select Poster.
  2. Under the Tile Scale, make sure it’s set to 100%.
  3. Adjust the Overlap (the area where each page overlaps with the next one) to something like 0.5 inches or less, if possible.
  4. Select "Print as Image" or adjust the margins if available, ensuring the cut marks stay within the printable area.

By adjusting the tile overlap and ensuring that scaling is at 100%, you should avoid shrinking or distorting the image.

 

Hope this helps.
