Length of the finished banner
Each portrait Letter page is 8.5 inches wide. Fifteen pages in a row measure about 10.6 feet. On A4 paper the row is about 10.3 feet. Landscape pages are wider, so the same message is about 13.75 feet long on Letter paper.
Ideas
- Use school colors for a graduation. Pick one color for the whole banner.
- Use Rainbow for a bright, mixed look.
- Add the graduate name on a second row of pages.
Print at actual size
In the print dialog, choose 100% or Actual size. Do not choose Fit to page. That setting shrinks the page, and the punch marks move.
