I should try my hand at this... too bad I have a shitty printer...

How do you get a picture to print out like that? I always just get a piece of the picture on a single page and the rest never prints out. I'm using Photoshop CS2.

Does posterizer give you the same dotted affect that rasterbator gives you?
>> Willuknight
>>96147

Thats what i did. Uni gives all the students 200 print credits (we have to pay for them as course material fees). Colour is $0.50NZ a page.

Colour looks waaaay better to B&w. You could probably get away with doing a few manga art in B&W if you needed too.

>>96154
No, which is why im using it. You have to start with a high resolution image though. My shana picture is 12 pages, and was a 1600x wallpaper - it looks great.

>>96131
Posterizer lets you select how many pages you want an image to span, and then lets you print it, or make a pdf or jpgs, of each part/page, so you can print elsewhere.
The best thing about it is that you can adjust the overlap margin, which means it's easier to cut it up.

If you want to use an image editing program, Macromedia Fireworks is the only one i know which will print an image out in its true aspect ratio (ie taking up multible pages if its that large BUT you can not position the image on the page.

What kind of paper did you use for your shana poster?
>> Anonymous
>>96156
my uni gives 600 pgs per year, i have yet to locate the colour printers, so i'm stuck with b&w

Its just ordinary A4 paper.
Heres a close up.

note i have shitty lighting in my room, so i had to increase the gamma of the image.


BTW, i said before that posterizer alows you to set an overlap. That is incorrect. it's TheBigPicture that has that feature (but you can only print in portrait with that program).

>>96147
attached is a pic of the blackandwhite image i have in the living room. The pages arent pasted togeteher (just affixed next to each other) so it doesnt look as good as the others. The B&W pic of Bara (bottom left of the first image in this thread) came out great.

Thanks guys.

I'm thinking I'll buy some bristol board to glue it to. Instead of taping. That way I can have a border as well as a safe point to put tacks through. Or is this completely a bad idea and too much work?

Yeah, thats a good idea. My friend suggested i do that, but i want to beable to roll it up to take with me when i move.

Btw, to get rid of the margins/edges on your image, check your local school/uni to see if they have a guitine you can use. Its the easiest way, and they usually want charge you to borrow it.

I've laminated one of mine, keeps it safe and in prestine condition, but it cost me $7, and it wasnt even that large :\

I'm not sure what that is but I'll assume it's one of those fancy paper cutters. I was thinking of just using a straight edge and a box cutter. If I use a sharp enough box cutter it should give me a good edge to work with.

(then put on a Nevada sweat shirt and go slash my friends wrists)

I'm trying to think of some other pictures to print out for my walls. I really thought this one was going to use up a lot more ink than it did (used 7%) so I may print up one or two more. If I can find something that I don't mind having on my wall.

sorry i meant to spell *guillotine*, ie something like this:

With a box cutter, it will be really difficult to keep it straight.

Ah one of those, that's what I thought. I had no idea what they were called though. I don't have easy access to one of those unfortunately. Wonder where I can find one. I'm not currently enrolled in a school so I can't borrow theirs.

Thanks again for your help.

Check out a office supply store with a self serve copy area (staples, office max, office depot, ect) they usually have one you can use.

could someone post the originals the the circled one please? ^_^

Hey guys how do I have it so that it colors the whole page. I tried it out and all of my pages had margin spaces around it. The image lines up correctly when the pages are lined up with the margins still intact, but without the margins (I cut them) they don't line up.

I printed it out on photo paper @ 4800x1200-optimized dpi on my HP Office Jet Pro K550. I think perhaps a bit overkill, but it really did turn out nice.

I believe the paper had a satin finish, it's not super glossy, and it's not matte.

>>96340
I'll check that out. Thanks

mm, i've never had that problem. try reducing the margin to 5mm, and make sure borders are turned off. Also its easier to start with something simple, ie 2x2, rather then a big 10+page job

Anyone got any non-wap posters?

If by non-wap, you mean non-anime, i printed off several panoramas, and a Firefly Serenity wallpaper

I meant to upload. Just if I put a giant poster of some anime chick up I'd never get laid again.
