Hello. The easiest way to print bigger is to get a larger printer. They may not be as expensive as you think. You can get a printer that prints 11×17 for a couple hundred dollars.

If that’s not a possibility, you can also “tile” your design on two separate transfers. You will need a graphic software to do this. Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator are the most popular. There is, however, another option. You can use Cadworxlive.com to create your artwork (or import) and have the ability to tile your design. You do have to be a customer of Stahls ID, Transfer Express or Imprintables Warehouse in order to use the software.

Once you have the design created and printed out, you’ll be ready for the heat press. Make sure you have the transfer overlapping a little bit so there are no lines in the middle of your transfer. Having a line could also result in a less durable transfer.

Hope this helps! If there are any other questions, please email me.
