Letter Size Poster Printing
Letter size poster printing lets you make a large poster from normal 8.5 x 11 inch printer paper. PrintTiler splits one image into Letter-sized tiles and exports a PDF for assembly.
This is the best route for US home and office printers where Letter paper is the default.
Letter paper poster basics
Letter paper measures 8.5 x 11 inches. A tiled poster uses several Letter sheets in a grid, such as 2 x 2, 3 x 3, or 4 x 2.
Print at actual size, then assemble the pages in row and column order. Use the 24 x 36 Letter guide when you need a poster close to that common size.
