Printing a low-res page

So, once upon a time during Survivor, I did a layout
This one:


As I was tweaking it, I had saved a lower-rez version for posting and then went to make a change to the original and something happened to it and now the full size is gone!
I love the layout and would to print it. Has anyone ever printed a 229kb layout (on purpose or accident) and how did it turn out? I really don't want to have re-do this one from scratch. There was a lot of work in it.
 
I was able to just find a 10.1 mb version! Much better than the 229 kb! Still much smaller than I normal print at for 12x12 pages
 
Great LO! I am interested in this answer too, since I lost some of my older LO's. Would you be willing to print 8x8 instead? Would that even make a difference?

Sorry... I'm not much help. :)
 
Wish I could help! I worry as the pictures I sometimes use are emailed to me very small or they are "stolen" off FB (from family members whose permission I have!!!)
I resorted to printing 4" x 4" on a 6x4 paper... I made an album. I love it. They are teeeny pages but for me that's enough!
I love the compact format :)

But yeah, for 12x12" I'd love to know too! I would probably resize in photoshop, or something that resizes nicely rather than use the printer's interface to "fit to page"... that's all I can suggest from this end.
 
This is a great questions because I have some layouts I don't have the original file anymore, too. But I never tried to print smaller... I'm not much of a help.
 
YES YOU CAN! I am giving an example here and I wrote a tutorial on it, but darn {grrr] I cannot locate as yet. I know I have it somewhere... but chose to answer now.
HERE is the original photo AFTER I resized it and fixed the first part! which originally was 96 dpi!

Trust me...this is corrected as I received the photo via email from a cousin with no clue to printing... well a wasted topic....

After I was "done"
Here is my LO printed , yes...printed at Scrapping Simply ...their book side is Paper Kiwi.. my LO @ 300 resolution>


I wish I could locate the original photo I received from my cousin, maybe tomorrow [as it looked like **** .... Basically I followed steps in books by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski, and it was written for pse5!!! [ ok, I admit to being old] That is how long I've had it.They are Adobe masters!. I'm good...I can re-establish most stuff to look good, but I must credit my knowledge to those I learned from.
Kit used....ummmm Lisa. dang now to recall her designer name.
This was done in either 2006 or 2009, I don't remember.

As for printing...on my soapbox again.
EVERYTHING DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PRINTED AT 300 DPI!

In olden years in digi the norm was 200. I've printed plenty at 180...and...I sent picture sizes as we UL LO to the gallery for photos at church and they printed in the bulletin...

Go for it!
