If there is one thing I miss about my G4 and it's programming was the ability to print posters! I am fairly new to my new G5 and Adobe Ill., although we've been using it in school.

At my job here, we print alot of in-house posters. We don't have a large format printer and back in my G4 days the printer drivers installed a "poster" option for print...

Now I have a G5 (COOL BEANS!) and adobe's CS suite for print. I have a spankin' new epson c84 printer that apparently no longer has the "poster" option in its print set up box. I tried to tile my work in illustrator and print a poster that way, but margins are being left in and there is gaps in the artwork where the pages join together.

I asked my teacher at school how to remedy the "gapsters" and he said you couldn't in illustrator. I'd have to send it all over to another page layout program (rhymes with "stork") where they offer an option to be rid of margin's AND overlapping trim which illustrator and indesign don't have. I looked for those type of settings with illustrator (mac 10.3.3?! don't know what program is running the printing process!!!)) and can't figure it out. I'd much rather use illustrator and indesign everthing I do for print! I seriously don't like working with the stork!

Could somebody PLEASE tell me if it is possible to print posters in illustrator/indesign with 8.5 x 11 inch standard paper sizes? AND HOW TO DO SO? Is there 3rd party software if there isn't? I've checked with epsons site for how to's but they have nothing on the subject...

THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL HELP!
