Hi: Now I just need to know how to print them. I thought I could but when I went to print it they did not print. Thanks again for your help
Hello
Here are printing instructions:
Printing the Designs:
If the picture is a thumbnail, you need to click on that. It will take you to the photo hosting site.
Once you are there, find the options drop down menu (Photobucket) and download the full size image to your computer, if you do not download the full size the image will appear grainy when printing. Save the file to your computer, I suggest saving it to a folder on your desk top so you can find it easily when printing.
When printing, always be sure to select the highest quality print option or photo printing. This is found under preferences when the print box pops up.
You can print your designs in several ways:
To Print from Paint:
Open a copy in Paint and print it from there be sure to use print preview and make any adjustments if it does not fill the page as desired.
Click on file, page setup and you will be able to make your design portrait or landscape
You can also set margins
To make your design fit on one page use the scaling option and choose fit to a 1 x 1 page
To have a little more flexibility in working with the design you can insert the image into a Word Document
To insert an image into Word:
From the toolbar select insert
Then picture
From file
Use the file browser to locate your file
Choose the file and then click insert
To change the size of a photo in word
You can then right click on the picture and choose format picture
then click on the size tab
and choose the dimensions you want the file to be (make sure your margins are set as small as possible)
or
click on the image and place your arrow over one of the corner guides
when it become a two way arrow
click on it and drag the arrow to the size you want the photo to be
(make sure you use a corner guide the middle guides will change the aspect ratio)
T-shirt Transfers- Mirror Images:
To make a mirror image in paint (for t-shirt transfers):
Press Ctrl+R this will bring up the flip/rotate dialogue window
Choose flip horizontal and then click on okay this should give you a mirror image of your design
To make a mirror image in Word:
This will be done in the printer options how to do this will vary by printer
Choose File
Print
and then Properties
there is probably a layout feature that will have a mirror image option choose this option and then print
Not all printers can do this if not you will have to first reverse the image in paint (see directions above)
