Sheet count answer
How Many Letter Pages for an 11 x 17 Poster?
Plan on 2 Letter pages for an exact 11 x 17 poster. In PrintTiler, that means 2 rows x 1 column with landscape Letter tiles.
A one-sheet landscape Letter page is only 11 x 8.5 inches, so it works as a proof or smaller print, not as a true 11 x 17 poster.

Practical takeaway
For an 11 x 17 poster on Letter paper, the answer is simple: use 2 sheets. This is one of the rare exact matches where the paper math is clean and predictable.
Unless you intentionally want a smaller proof print, there is little reason to use the one-sheet fallback.
FAQ
What is the correct Letter page count for an 11 x 17 poster?
Use 2 Letter pages. That is the exact PrintTiler layout for an 11 x 17 poster.
Can I print 11 x 17 on just one Letter page?
No. One Letter page is only 8.5 x 11 inches in portrait or 11 x 8.5 inches in landscape, so it is too small.
Why does the 2-sheet layout work exactly?
Two landscape Letter pages stack to the exact height and width needed for an 11 x 17 finished poster.
Do I need to print at actual size?
Yes. Actual size or 100 percent scale keeps the 2 sheets aligned and preserves the exact 11 x 17 output.
