Yeah, that basically is what I'm doing now. I'm thinking I'm just going to buy the 24 inch monitor and rotate it as it looks like it will make it possible for me to view the whole page at once at full size.
Don't need the tiling, One option I did notice last night was there are some cheap inkjets that handle legal paper which would give me the 11 x 17. Sure it's 5 inches short on the length, but with the check box (fit to page), I could at least get a fairly good idea how it will look. Basically I was looking for the ole magic bullet as it will cost me 250 to print 1,000 copies with 12 pages each week and I wanted to find a way to make sure it looked good from the start as I don't really have 1,000 per month to waste. -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Copeland Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 11:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: printer question There are printers that print that large...they're inkjet. But the price is in the $2k to $3k range. If you must have hardcopy, print with tiling (I have no idea how or if Publisher does this as we use Indesign and Quark) or print to a PDF and do scaling...both screen and hardcopy. I'm guessing you want two things...the overall look and balance of the spread, plus you want to proof the layout kerning and leading...line breaks, spacing, etc. With a PDF, you can reduce it down to fit the screen or paper you can print/view, and get a feel for the balance of the columns, etc., and then you can zoom in for proofing of detail. And, most printers these days LOVE to receive PDF input.
