Re: How do I print a 13x10 image on a 8.5x11 printer?
Look for a function in your software or printer to "Tile Pages".
This will split your design for you, rather than you printing it twice and trying to splice it together yourself.
The link below is just an example I grabbed off the net for you so you can see what you are looking for. This example uses Illy, and mentions photoshop in the directions.
If the program you have doesn't do this, there may be software you can upload to your computer to help you with this. Try CNET or google. Gimp.org is an open source similar to photoshop. If using vector, see if inkscape.org will work for your vector image. These are free open source programs in case you don't already have software with this function.

Try this, position 1/2 the print on the print section, then the other 1/2 overlap a little print then put the 2 together align and use an x-acto knife to cut between the overlap. Tape and press. Hope I explaind it correctly.

Or...
If you're talking any kind of production at all, and you don't want to waste a lot of stuff, pay someone with the larger machine to print the transfer(s).
