How does Lightburn handles printing to and ink-jet printer?

LightBurn Software Questions
1

Hi all,
I am working on some stickers that will be printed on an ink-jet, then cut with Lightburn.
The entire project have been built within Lightburn, it has an outline the size of an A4 sheet (210*297mm) and all the contents are within that outline.
My idea was to print from Lightburn, then cut the printed pages, but I struggle to get consistent results.

Since laser beds are typically larger than paper sheets, I am wondering how Lightburn handles printing projects larger than the printer’s size.
My understanding so far is that Lightburn will scale the entire project to make it fit on one sheet of paper, unless the project is already smaller than a sheet of paper, in which case it is not scaled at all.

This unfortunately would prevent using Lighburn for entire projects and force me to recompose the page in an external software for printing, then using LB for cutting. A bit of a shame really.

I found this videos. Don’t know if they have the solution that your are looking for.

Thanks, i am using print and cut quite a lot.
My question was more about using Lightburn to do the print part, rather than an external software. But it seems like a no-go at least for now.

Without having tried it I would lay it out so that nothing crosses edge of page size and set printer to no margins, it should then just print as multiple pages, and see what the result is.
