Scaling Up With Poster Settings - An OKSew Quick Tip

As requested, in this video I will demonstrate how to use the poster setting to print PDF patterns at scaled up percentages. I am using a Brother printer & Windows, the specific steps may vary based on your printer model and operating system. Some printers require “print as image” to be turned off.

I just came across this "after" viewing your Pythagorean Pouch boxed corner method (OMG). I enlarged the pattern at 120%, and it worked like a charm, and I have a Mac!! Thx much!!

This is RIGHT ON TIME Nicole!!! I wanted to enlarge the Logi and couldn't figure it out this morning... Thank you SO MUCH!!

[@OKSew474]

So glad it helped!

[@jesspeak7543]

Thank you for such a great idea and methodical process. I usually print the pattern and then cut it into halves or quadrants, separate a specific distance, and tape together. Your method is soooo much easier.❤

[@suesweeney5952]

Soooo much easier!!

[@OKSew474]

So glad to be able to help!

Is the Adobe program something that you purchased? My Adobe Reader doesn't have the capability of changing size, etc.

[@OKSew474]

Are you using Windows? I use the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, you may have to open the PDF from the desktop or a folder to see all the options.

[@anneaugustin9176]

@@OKSew474 I usually use a Mac but it didn't have the options that you have in the PC. I brought it into a PC and it works!! Thank you so much. I made two today and will make more tomorrow. Fabulous tip!!!

[@All.New.Maggie.Who.]

OMG THANKS!!!!

[@mlistander]

Can someone help a girl out? I am trying to make the pattern larger. I have spent an hour trying to figure it out. Does anyone have a larger version done for a Mac?

[@OKSew474]

I wish I had access to a Mac to see if I could figure it out for you - I had hoped someone would chime in with a suggestion! My recommendation would be to search your specific printer and “poster settings Mac” to see if you can find the info you need. Sorry I am not more help!

@@OKSew474 Thank You I transferred it to my husband’s windows computer.

[@OKSew474]

Oh excellent!!

@@OKSew474 if others have an issue with Mac the update has done away with the poster button. It is greyed out.
