As a tattoo artist, I print large-scale designs almost every day. I always wondered why such a simple task still required large desktop applications. There was no straightforward tool that made the process easy on an iPad. So I built ScalePrint for my own workflow. Choose an image, enter the desired height in centimeters, and ScalePrint automatically places it across multiple A4 pages while preserving the correct proportions. You can move and rotate the design before printing, so it sits exactly where you need it. I wanted the app to be as simple as possible: no complicated menus, no unnecessary settings, and no previous printing or design experience required. ScalePrint is useful for: • Tattoo artists preparing full-size stencils • Designers and illustrators • Posters, templates and reference drawings • Anyone who needs to print an image at an accurate physical size Main features: • Exact print size in centimeters • Automatic A4 page tiling • Preserved image proportions • Adjustable position and rotation • Clear page grid preview • Simple and focused interface ScalePrint started as a tool that solved a problem in my own daily work. I hope it makes your workflow easier too. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
