Usually I use A3+ format for my Ahnentafel, but this time I neede more space and decided to create it, so that it goes over 3 A3+ pages - one whole page in the middle and one half on each side.
In my mind it would be like when you print a document - it starts with the first page and then the second etc.
But Intaglio does not seem to do that It only wants to print one page.
Now you may say that I just have to move the image to make it take the next part, but it is not that easy, because ut has to fit 100% and that is kind of difficult to achive.
Any advice ??? Pleeeeaaaseā¦
I have spent hours and hours designing the image !

Unfortunately, I cannot use PDF, because the image quality gets very bad when exporting the image as PDF.
TIFF is the same.
I can use BMP and PNG format and keep the resolution.
I did save it in both these formats and opened it in Photoshop, but I only get one page printed there as well. I guess it is possible in Photoshop, but I am not an expert
Of course it looks poor, you are showing me a low resolution (compressed) jpeg! A vector is completely different. Even a 600 dpi png or tiff would be a vast improvement.
Have you tried printing from tiler or increased intaglioās default output resolution yet?

Tom

Yes, this is a jpg, but it does show the difference between the 2 formats. I did change the resolution to 600 dpi. I have not tried to print from a tiler. I use art paper and it is quite expensive, so I might have to reformat an example to fit in ordinary A3 paper.
As I said before, I did try to print the pdf and I can assure you that it is not my imagination that makes it look poorly
I would be happy to send you a part of my image in Intaglio format, if you want to look at it āliveā. Maybe there are some setting that need to be changed ?
@ Tom: How you get 600dpi images out of Intaglio? Thought 300 is the max.
@ Litta. There are few reasons possible for this varieties; mix of CYMK+RGB colors or transparent colors that donĀ“t translate well to PDF. At least there shouldnĀ“t be any noticeable difference. To your printing question. What do want to receive at the end? I mean you have to glue it together no? ThereĀ“s no LED/Laser printer which prints full size of sheet paper for instance. IĀ“d overlay a page raster to the image smaller than the default printing size and move it print-by-print to the next frame (hiding it of course) and cut all sheets in the end for assembly - no?
I may be mistaken, as it has been a long time since I set resolution (I leave it on high as default),
But I seem to remember that you have 3 options, each of which can be tweaked. Perhaps Iām
confusing it with another software?

600 DPI: One can manually set the high resolution to higher than 300 DPI
End result: Do not want to print with an overlap, because it is hard to cut 100% exact. So my plan was to print continously and afterwards connect the parts edge to edge using a paper tape on the backside. The picture is going to be framed profesionally afterwards and although I am aware that one will see a line where the sheets meet, I think is is better than cutting or even overlapping.
I have an idea that I can print one sheet at a time in Intaglio and use guidelines to indicate the next page. Do you see what I mean ?
I have downloaded Incubator and will try to print an exmple on A4 paper.
You mentined CMYK and RGB being a problem. How do I find out if that is the case and what should I do ? I am afraid that when it comes to color systems, I am very confused
Iāve just brought Intaglio. Yes it is possible to output 600dpi. You can probably go even higher too!
Just select resolution from the menu bar, then press the arrow button, which brings a hidden window
up. There you can set whatever resolution you like (unless the resolution limit is 300, and Iāve just
been shortchanged all these years?!)
I canāt believe Iām explaining this to the great Beckmann himself! hehe

That wonĀ“t work - believe me (or not) - there are so many traps on your way like non 100% even paper feed - no 100% frameless printing. If it has to be perfect IĀ“d go for a full service provider - most Copy-Shops can print on canvas for example.
@ Tom : Resolution. Yeah - got it. But never went higher than 300 dpi - so I skipped the little triangle button.
It only wants to print one page.
