Best Way to Print JPG Patterns

hdtrike

Hi Everyone!
Im curious, as I havent found a good way yet.  How do you print out your scanned, jpg patterns to get a good, clear printout of chart?  Run it through another program?  PDF?  Tried to print some out last night, but one was really, really small to try and stitch from.  Anyway, looking for any and all suggestions.  Thank you!

If its a small jpg I enlarge it and print it out by sections copying and pasting them into a new files.   So it comes out printable on an 8.5X11 sheet.

I use photoshop for most of my jpg editing.

As my eyesight isnt that good:) I also enlarge the pattern and print it out in sections and stick it on a large board that I place besides my chair and I can glance at while Im working................

You might try opening a new document in Microsoft Word and importing the image as a picture, then enlarging it there. Ive had good quality prints from Word. I know it isnt an image editor, but it does print images well.

Be sure to change your printer settings to print high quality instead of normal or draft. This helps, too!

I use acrobat and make all the separate JPGs into PDFs.  Then i work from there.  I put the chart on my tablet and either work from that or I use kinkos (a printing shop in the US)

I put mine through photoshop change the sizes add a bit more contrast or brightness and then print out works great
