HI all, I love printables that you can download from internet to decorate house with for seasons e.g from pinterest - heres one as an example
pinterest.com/pin/517984394611484830/

but can't download as pdfs which I need to print at my local print shop in the right size as otherwise it makes them tiny as its a high resolution printer.

wasted lots of time on this

can anyone advise me please?

thanks!

I can't download that one without paying out to become a "premium reader" or something.

Ah ok, there are quite a lot like that. Has anyone got any nice easter pdf links?

My usual source (Craftgawker.com) doesn't seem to have any.

Have you tried "Drag & Drop" onto your desktop, rather than downloading ?? - I just did that with the image in the link & it worked fine on my MAC - it does often get you passed download fees

HAve you looked on The Graphics Fairy?

I download images from there all the time

or right click on the image, then click save as and save it as an image.

Then use something like GIMP to edit it and sort it out and print it.

Hi, what is gimp? I did save the image but
it prints small at the printers or low def at home, I will look at the other websites recommended. Don't have a mac I am afraid

GIMP is free open source software that does all the same stuff photoshop does. In GIMP you could make your own printable, rather than having to use someone elses that you download.

Or you could import that image into GIMP and tidy it up so it prints out at a better resolution.
