Options for printing large format charts from Visual Chartform

[eric99 0]

My question is relatively self-explanatory. Are there any chart printing services that can still work with information from Visual Chartform? Any help appreciated.

There is no one so far as I know that can print VCF files directly. However, there is an article by Robin Lamacraft, an expert on VCF, on my website about how to save the data in a format that commercial printers can use. It is at https://tmg.reigelridge.com/Robin-saving.htm

Since my original post, I’ve discovered ancestryprinting.com. They say they can use Visual Chartform files to print charts. I’ve placed an order and will try and remember to post here once I receive my charts.

Thanks for the info, Eric. I didn't know about them. I'd love to hear how it worked for you. Also, do you have to do anything special, like install a specific printer driver on your computer, to get VCF to produce the chart in the width and length you want?

Received my charts today. They look great. If you want/need vcf charts, I recommend ancestryprinting.com

Thanks, Eric. I'll post a note on my webpage mentioning them. Did you have to make any special settings to keep VCF from braking the chart into 8.5 x 11 pages?

Terry,

Shouldn't this topic be in the VCF forum?

I agree, Jim. I've moved it.

I have used https://familychartmasters.com/ a few times and gotten good results.
