I trying to make a 6 x 6 foot cut out of a family photo for a prank.

My source image is 7" x 7" and I want to blow it up to about 72x72 I realize it's going to look a little blurry but the average distance from the final output will be about 10 feet so the image will still be noticeable.

I rarely do this and in the past I have used Illustrator and manually moved the page tool over to print each section.

However I noticed this option in Adobe reader to tile large pages and how you can choose to scale the image I think I want 800% (is that about right?)

What about overlap? This is an inket printer so there is a margin on 3 sides of the sheet when it prints which is about 1/4" of white space.

Anyways, when I click print though it just prints the regular size image on one sheet of paper.
