Printing 12x12 scrap pages on A3 printer

[Carolk]

Can anyone advise me how to printout my 12x12 scapbooking pages I have done on my A3 Brother printer recently purchased. What and where do I change the setting to enable me to do this, is it on SCA or the A3 printer

Hi Carol,
An A3 printer prints on 11.7 inches by 16.5 inches, to print 12x12 you will need an A3+ printer which prints 13 x 19 inches which will easily accommodate a 12x 12, I must admit that when on TV they keep saying buy this A3 printer to print your 12x12 scrapbook pages it makes me mad, as this can't be done, my only suggestion would be to select 12x12 in your software, and then when printing select fit to page, it won't come out exactly 12x12 but will be close, you could then mount the page on a 12x12 piece of card or paper.

I have an A3 printer and print out my 12 X 12 pages on it - not many. I trim the margins and the pages look fine in my 12 X 12 scrapbook

Hi Meg,
I guess they don't actually measure 12x12 though or do they? I bought an A3+ printer because of this,I hope I didn't waste my money when an A£ printer would have done the job. Did you use fit o page to keep your pages square?

No, they don't quite measure 12 X 12 but the difference is so small, it doesn't bother me. I bought my printer for A3 printing - posters, etc and don't create scrap pages very often, so the small difference is negligible for me.
