Manually defining the tile size and tile printing order

The Tiling process involves 'cutting a image' (vertically, horizontally or in

both directions,) so that its printed dimensions match those of the

substrate on which it is to be printed or the area where it is ultimately to

be displayed. Tiling would be carried out for either or both of the following

typical reasons:

• The width of an image is greater than that of the

PRINT HEAD.

E.g., an image that is 45" wide and is to be printed with a 36"

PRINT HEAD, for example.

• A image that is 36" wide has to be put into two shop windows

each 18" wide.

! To manually define the tile size and printing order:

1. In the

TILING group box of the EDIT dialog box, check the MANUAL

option.

2. Enter the required printing dimensions.

3. Set the tile overlap in the required

OVERLAP fields.

4. Select the first tile to be printed from either the

FROM X or FROM Y

drop-down combo boxes.

5. Select the last tile to be printed from either the

TO X or TO Y drop-

down combo boxes.
