I need to divide an image up for dye sublimating onto tile, although the same scenario would work for engraving. Here is the scenario:
The image is 36" x 36" and the tiles are 12" x 12".
At first glance you might think that simply creating a 3x3 grid (Corel X3) and using powerclip to place the image in the grid would work, but here is the issue. The tiles need to have a bit of overlap to allow the image to bleed over the edge of the tile. This isn't as simple as taking the 12"x12" section and enlarging by a small amount, it has to be overlap from the image next to it. So what I really need is to have 9 images that are 12.1" x 12.1" that overlap the image next to it by .1".
Does this make any sense at all? It's really much harder to describe in writing than to just think it out or say it...
Do you have any ideas how to do this without manually placing each section into a powerclip?
There is a program that does this, YottaPrint, but the printing must be done from within the program, it prints magenta and the emails I have sent to support have gone unanswered. Hopefully my refund request will be answered...
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Gary
