That makes sense, I knew there was a perfectly good reason. Thank you for explaining.

I certainly wish your masterboard tiles would make full use of the page when printed out. I understand why you do the 7X7 thing, but I choose a different size masterboard and it is just more efficient to use the whole page. It is really disturbing to throw away all this blank white paper that I could have used if the image were larger. I prefer to use a 2' X 4' section and butt 2 boards together. Currently, when I do that, I end up with a lot of wasted paper. It would seem like a relatively simple change. If you would even put all the enlarged tile .pdf's in one package, for folks that already own a number of sets, I would gladly pay the going price. It would be especially cool to have all the masterboards available like that, I like the master board tiles available in some of the non-fantasy genre sets, but I'm loathe to plunk down 16.99 for essentially one tile that I'd use. |

I'm not quite sure I follow. From what I understand even "full format" edge-to-edge printers don't do well with alignment (which would cause major grid problems). A vast majority of printers don't print to the bleeding edge of the page which creates a massive compatibility problem for us on this end. Unfortunately (all though we would love that extra room to work with) we have to stick with safe border tolerances on all products or risk becoming irrelevant for many home printers. Not only that but remastering our entire catalog to that standard would be a monstrous undertaking. Sorry to be a downer on that point, in some ways I do wish we had the extra page space but it just isn't realistic for our market. |

Wouldn't that be fairly easy to kitbash together? Most of the tiles aren't that far out of being uniform, so you could just cut and past to make a covered A4 (or whatever) size coverage. Presumably you'd then need to test it and cut it back to whatever your printer actually handles... |

gimp is a free graphics editing program. Similar to photoshop, which you have to purchase. Such programs are very useful when you wish to do kitbashing, or as mentioned printing custom page layouts. http://www.gimp.org/ |
