How to print a pattern

To display the material correctly, we recommend using Photoshop. When installing paper, make sure it is secure to avoid distortion of the print.

Step 1

Open the file using Photoshop, then “File”.

Step 2

Go to "Print with settings".

Step 3

Check the Sheet Orientation by clicking on the "Page Settings" button.

Step 4

Select the desired page orientation.

Step 5

Now you can click "Print".

Step 6

If after clicking the "Print" button, a warning appears,

this means that your printer cannot print to the end of the sheet, this function may

regulated by the settings of your equipment.

Step 7

Select the desired printer and you can print

How to assemble a pattern

To assemble a pattern from individual parts printed on A4 paper, you will need scissors and narrow tape.

Before starting assembly, arrange all the sheets in the correct order to see the full picture. A little patience and from individual 

sheets of mosaic will form a whole life-size pattern! 

For the convenience of sorting the pattern sheets before assembly, each A4 part is equipped with a two-digit index ij, which uniquely identifies

its location among the other sheets of the mosaic. The first digit of the index i indicates the serial number of the horizontal 

row, and the second digit j is the number of the vertical column. The starting point is conventionally the upper left corner of the finished pattern. 

Don't forget to make sure the lines match exactly!

That's it. Cut out the pattern and you can start cutting. 

Good luck!
