I think his main point was that vector graphics
make more sense for large scaling of simple
images. Which is true in principle. It just
doesn't apply here because 1) you don't
need perfect edges and 2) you can still get
them in raster if you needed to and 3) vector
requires mastering an entirely new, complex
program.

I don't know about the tile printing. Rasterbator
looks very good for that, assuming you can get
the right scale. I've never needed to do such a thing.
From reading these posts I get the impression that
either "every program and his brother" does tile
printing and you're just having a hard time figuring
it out, or that very few programs can do it but
people posting don't understand what you need.

You seem to have somehow
missed that you *can* get all 4 corners
printd in IrfanView by working with the "Position
on paper" settings. But that really doesn't
matter if Rasterbator is working.

So, yes, after all that debate, the real
work will be cutting out the letters. Then
there's the work of figuring out how to avoid
overspray under the template when your
template is not adhesive. Maybe you should
just buy your elderly neighbor a rose
bush and call it a day?
