Title: multiple copies of template on one sheet of paper
Post by: studio2107 on February 26, 2022, 12:28:33 AM
I have a greeting card template that I like and it works well. It is set up for an 8.5x11 page. How can I print two copies of the same template on one 11x17 piece of paper or even 4 on a 17x22? It seems like something I could do, but I can't quite figure it out.
Thanks, Jason

Select 11x17 or 17x22 as paper size and 8.5x11 for image size.

Thanks so much for your reply. I understand how to put 4 photographs on a sheet of paper, I just can't figure out if/how to print multiple (8.5x11) templates (custom layouts) on a larger piece of paper. It may be relevant that printers are Canon pro 100 and pro 1000.
Thanks again.

You would have to design your layout on 11x17 paper and save it.  You could start with the 8.5 x 11 layout, then change the paper size to 11x17, and work from there: put another set of the same templates on the page.  The Full Page Editor allows you to do things like copy/paste templates on the page, move them, etc. so you'd only have to do it once.  But you can't load an 8.5 x 11 twice on an 11x17 sheet because those are two different "entities" in the driver: both page sizes have different margins, offsets, etc. and you can't really do "page within a page" like that.  Kinda have to just do it from scratch.

Mike

Thank you for your instruction Mike!
That is what I ended up doing.
Thanks.
