merge .png files in vertical sequence and printing

[Dawna_R]

Hi. I'm trying to find out how to merge a series of different .png files using GIMP 2.10.0.0.  You can see the layout I want to use in the attached image.  If I were to create a file with the typical horizontal width of 8.50 letter size, and a vertical measurement of 11.0 x the total number of .png images, and then pasted them one after another on the newly created file, what would happen if I print it on 8.50 x 11.0 paper?  This might be obvious to some people , but I don't know.  I'd be grateful for any solution.

Thanks,

Dawna_R

Gimp works in pixels, so your US Letter size only comes in at the end when considering printing.

The divided up example you give is 1063 x 5500 pixels. Is that vertical 5500 pixels the sum of the four png images ?

To set that up for printing then use Image -> Print Size and adjust the X / Y resolution to give a height of, I would say,10.5 inches.  Why not 11 inches ? Depends on the printer but most have a non-printable border. No need to scale the image, the printer software does it for you.
