We just got this printer at work. It prints 42" (about 106 cm) wide paper. I'm trying to get some good pics printed on it, because 1600x1200 images look more pixelated than NES on a big screen tv.

while we're on the subject of printing high res on large pieces of paper, whats the minimum amount of pixels you suggest per inch?
>> q_Werty !uj0B./cV3U
I found out that about 4000px width looks just about good.

Videogame related stuff is preferred. I would love a huge 12000x4000 Master Chief for instance.

Hey!!! I´m an oficial technician of Roland in Spain!!! Every day I´m printing with this kind of printers (EPSON, MIMAKI, VUTEK, ROLAND, HP, etc...) with eco-sol inks, solvent inks, inkjets, drys, etc...

LOL!!!! All the images that I download from here are for the print test with the new machines!!!

A good quality A4-sized print requires about 2500x3500 pixel source image, so a 106cm wide paper requires about 12000*17000 pixel image to look good.

You realy dont need something that big to get good large format prints.

What makes a good print is partly based off of viewing distance ie. the closer you are viewing it the higher res you need. A billboard for example is olny printed at 25ppi or so because view distance is so great. A poster looks fine at printed around 100-150ppi (viewing distance of 2-3 ft.) so a 24x36 in print needs a source of around 3600x5400 pixels to look its best at 3 feet viewing.

This should do nicely.

i printed this pic on a ~60 inch x 36 inch sheet of color plotter paper and it looked fine (printed on a HP 1055CM Plus)

I've also printed out a poster on a 90 inch x 60 inch sheet of plotter paper, and my pic was around 12000x8000 pixels on that IIRC, and it looked fine as well. (printed on a HP 5500PS)

it's sure great to have access to the engineering and design lab at university. free hueg posters! =)

btw... holy mother of hell does it take the printer a long time to process the print job on the HP 1055CM. From pressing print to it actually starting to print the picture, it took around 20 minutes. It prints uber fast though, and only takes about a minute once it starts printing.

also, don't print over 90 inches tall, because that is 7.5 feet, and that poster reaches from the floor to the ceiling. Standard room height is 8 feet tall.

Holy shit... thats... a big picture to say the least...

That would be a "Plotter" as known by AutoCAD People, or more commonly known as a Wide-Format printer they can easily scale up to 128'' but the nicest ones are made by Xerox which have built in RIP servers for PIM. HPs are junk, but they are better than some, but then again thats in all printers - not just plotters.

the standard household HP printers are junk, but their smaller plotters (36-60 inch) are pretty good IMHO.

If you can't open the .pnp file from the link:
http://peorth.balrog-bob.com/Stuff/My%20Anime%20Artchive/Kimi%20Ga%20Nozomu%20Eien/

From there, click on the .pnp... Firefox + IE doesn't like the link for some reason, or just go to /Stuff/ and move down the directories from there.

I recommend http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/

You can get high resolution astronomy pictures from here. They offer tif files of almost all of the stuff, and some of the higher resolution images are 16k by 16k pixels (the picture of the Helix nebula to be precise). There's recently been released a 15 thousand by 12 pixel thousand image of a galaxy. Have fun! Those tif files can get to be a couple hundred megs.

Since I was so nice to give you this link, you should give me the Helix nebula test print. =P

Heyyyy, a plotter.

I have one of these at work.

It is made of CAD and winz.

This beauty of a printer is a plotter in the same way that a ferrari is a car. It's technically accurate, but just scratches the surface.
