Windows sign printing freeware?
Does it exist?

Exact example here uploads.im/YpuVv.jpg
To spray paint plastic sign that are on 12 inches x 18 inches white
stock.

Goal is to create a life-sized cutout template on normal 8.5x11" paper.
Then tape template on 12"x18" white plastic stock.
Then spray paint letters of right size with red paint.

If not special sign printing free software is there a trick to print
a real size cutout template with a normal Windows 10 printer of
multiple pages of 8.5x11 inch paper taped together by using a trick
of some kind?

Plan is to spray paint once I tape the life-sized paper templates
over 12x18" plastic stock white boards.


Have you tried any of the online sign-designers? "Design house sign"
under Google gets them. I got mine here;

Cool! And weathers well.

To get a print of it, I just did a screen-shot.

Thanks for that link Ed, you've made my day :-)
I was looking yesterday for new house numbers at the local diy shed and
couldn't find any I liked so gave up, never thought of looking for those
sort of websites.


I'm a mine of useful tips! (:-
