    Try and explain
    I own an Epson R2400 with 13×19 Sheets of Paper.
    How can I setup to print a document that is 36×48.
    I thought To build my project that size and hit print and it will just use the amount of pages it needs and i would have to piece the pages together. but i was wrong.
    So What is the proper setup to print a document that is 36x48in using as many 13×19 paper to print it up.

    Yes, you were right. Design at 36×48. When click print, choose the “setup” tab on the left and then click on “Tile” at the bottom right. Make sure you have the paper size set to 13×19. It will print guides to help you line up the sheets and then you paste together.
