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.

One trick used for T-shirts and might also work for
your sign:
Design your sign in PAINT, then flip the picture to
get a mirror image.
Print that as deeply colored(or black) as possible.

Then put the print ink down on your sign or T shirt.
and with a very hot iron (often the cotton setting)
iron the paper, which ought to transfer the ink from
the paper to your shirt or sign.
Dont pull off the paper, but dump it with shirt or sign in water.
Leave it for a an hour, then gently brush away the wet paper.

Might give it a try.
