FAQ
How is the number of poster sheets calculated?
The sheet count is rows multiplied by columns. The calculator compares grids near the target width and height.
Which paper sizes can I compare?
The calculator supports PrintTiler print-paper options including A4, A3, A5, Letter, and Legal.
Does the calculator change the PrintTiler editor?

Do printer margins affect the final image area?
Yes. The physical sheet grid is easy to calculate, but the printable image area depends on printer margins and any overlap used for assembly.
