THE NEWS IN PRINT

There have been several times when I wanted to print posters on my HP F380 printer but the hardware capability had limited my desires. Either I have to get it printed elsewhere or reduce the size of the image to print it on my machine. But, some smart software lets you chop your poster into x number of parts and have each part printed on a separate sheet of A4 size paper. Once all the parts are printed, the different segments could be collaged into your favorite poster.

Posteriza, freeware that runs on Windows, can chop your poster into a desired number of segments and lets you print them on separate sheets. It gives a preview of how the different segments would align to form the poster once re-aligned.

Picasa, a popular photo suite from Google can do the same but has a smaller set of features when compared with Posteriza. However, Picasa lets you geo-tag your pictures using Google Earth, which is extremely cool!

If you have a poster waiting to be printed, fire up your browser, start downloading and print away!
