Making A6 posters from A4 card

In Photoshop CS6 I can divide the paper in 4, using the Rectangle tool, and I plan to insert an image made in Illustrator into any or all of the rectangles, print onto coloured card, then guillotine into 4 pieces. Any ideas on how to do it?

Wouldn't bother with Photoshop. Just use something more basic like Word or Publisher, set your page size to A6, produce your image full page size, and use your printer settings to print multiple copies onto A4 at 4 per page.

The issue your likely to have is your printer wit actually print right to the edge so you'll have to design each a4 piece with an overlap. How much overlap is needed depends on your printers printing capability, trial and error will be needed.

If you want it to look quality you really need it printed on one piece, Speak to your local printer as print prices aren't too bad
