Someone asked the other day about the best way to print family trees, with a
home printer or at a shop.
Just yesterday I had two family trees printed at a local copy shop, after
experimenting with the tools for several years. They look great and were
made with the Legacy Charting Companion Program: neat boxes and in colors if
you want them. The shop printed them easily on large paper from the
TIF-image Pdf files I gave them on a floppy disc (I used TIF but for the PDF
file but imagine JPEG would have done nicely).
I have also made a large tree with my own printer using two sheets of normal
size paper, but I don't recommend it unles you're very savvy with the type
of merging required: half of the tree on one page and half on the other and
pasting them together. I nearly went crazy trying to work out the merge and
still don't know how I did it.
I've spent more time trying, and failing, to produce a neat box tree chart
with Tree Draw Legacy, which a lot of people swear by. It must be a very
good program, but I just can't get the hang of it; I just get a large sprawl
of names that requires lots of manual adjustments.
