How can I print the same artboard twice on one document in Illustrator CS5? Similar to a contact sheet in Photoshop.

Te obvious way is to duplicate the artboard then create a new artboard that is large enough to encompass the two artboards and print that larger artboard.

I know how to do that, but I was hoping there was an automatic way. I prefer not to manually duplicate because if I change the copy or alignment, or a colour etc. in the future, I have to copy and paste again, or change the 2nd artboard. It would be nice if Illustrator could automatically arrange duplicates when printing.

Thanks Larry - the Effect > Transform is the perfect solution. I appreciate it!


Most printer drivers can do this on the fly with no need to adjust the artwork....
