Feature Request: Print Same Page multiple times per page/model

[SScottS]

Coming here because of the EOL of Microsoft publisher. The one feature that I can't find to replace anywhere else is the ability to print multiple copies of a page on a piece of paper. For example, if I design a single sided, one page business card, I want to be able to tile 10 of those easily to print on a letter size piece of paper. Affinity's model of tiled or n-up gets so close, but that only works if there are multiple pages. It would be nice if you could print multiple of the same document page on the same piece of paper. Sure, you could duplicate the page x number of times, but that defeats the purpose of edit once, print unlimited tiled. In MS Publisher, you can even go so far as typing the same page in the pages box to print multiple such as 1,1,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6 to print 2 copies of all those pages on a single piece of paper.

If I'm missing this existing feature, please tell me, but I don't see it. There are so many use cases where this type of printing is so helpful to efficiently use office paper and quickly make documents.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

N-up should allow you to do this with a single page repeated multiple times on the same sheet of paper. Set Repeat to the number of copies of the single page and Across and Down to the number of horizontal and vertical copies.

@MikeTO Wow, thank you! I must have missed the repeat option before (and the skip which is excellent) too. And now putting in page numbers like I suggested seems to work fine. Not sure why that wasn't working before, but it is now. Thank you so much! I had been hopeful that this was the easy replacement software we needed, and it looks like it is! I was just the one doing it wrong. Thanks!
