The instructions are all the oposite! Tile full imageable areas is the right option for a home printer. The printer will indeed tile the "imageable areas", according to the "printable area" on each sheet of paper, so that you can assembly the full picture joining the pieces and disposing the white borders that your printer cannot print. The suggested "tile full pages" will ignore the image that's in the areas the printer cannot print (the paper borders) and your large artwork will print with gaps, you won't be able to assemble the full picture. I hope this helps.
I was looking for answers to this everywhere, as two sources had told me to do the full pages. Your comment saved my sanity! 😭 Thank you sooo much! You saved my blueprints!
Thank you for the quick, fast, but thorough explanation on this process!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for this video. I had been doing it one way for soooo long and found I couldn't do it that way any more. I was searching everywhere online for the answer. YOUR VIDEO helped me create the result I wanted in CS5. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. :)))))))))))
You have no idea how much this helped me! I didn't quite understand the technical names in the settings so i totally overlooked this option! Thanks so much!
FANTASTIC tutorial!!! Thanks!

Thanks for this!
Great video, thanks for the help :)
Great info. Thank you for uploading. Is there a way to customize the size of the tiles? For instance, I have a image that is 36x36 inches. Is it possible to print that out by tiling it into 36 squares, each 6x6? Thank you again.
Very helpful thank you.
Awesome job 👌🏻
amazing thank you so much!
Great, thank you!
Hello, not sure if you can help me but I own Illustrator 10. I do not have the same drop down options that are mentioned on this tutorial. Would you happen to know how I would tile a large image for printing? Thank you for your time. PS. Your video explains things very clearly. Thanks.
Thank you!
Thank u so muj, this will be easier now to do my assignments
good stuff, Whats the largest size can an illustrator document go to?
Will it be the same size as the ruler in the illustrator when you print it?
When I use the overlap, the image doesnt line up perfectly.. any idea why?
How do you get a white border on the edges? Most printers won't print to the edge?
thanks alooooot
I know this is old. I have CS6. Trying to print a very large image, I have found that illustrator sends the full image with cropping information for each tile to the printer. The image is way too big for the printer, so it fails to print any pages. Saving to PS (4.4GB file) then opening it in Preview converted it to PDF, rasterizing every page with only the binary data for each page, and the resulting PDF for 55 pages was only 107MB.
The original print job took 2 hours to "spool" with some 6GB of data (as per lpstat) and of course once done spooling, 0 pages had printed. PDF printed right away :-) (after hours of putzing around trying to figure out why this new printer didn't work (hadn't printed such large tiled poster since the late 1990s :-)
How do I save those tiled images to PDF?
+Zoe Doucette spoke to soon. Post script file?
Coreldraw is by far the superior when it comes to tiling print.
