/hr/ I'm thinking about getting an image made into a poster. Have any of you had experience doing this? Any recommendations on a website to get this done? Any type of image I that doesn't turn out well? Also, how big does the resolution need to be to turn out well at say a 24"x36" size print.

Pic possibly related, although too small I think.

Is 300DPI really needed for a decent print?

not necessary of you if you can deal with the blurred image. best bet is to resize the pic and print a piece of it. if that's acceptable then your good to go. Also if you know someone in graphic design the should be able to reCG the image for you.

Responding to>>419860, I used to work at Kinko's. They are usually super-paranoid about copyright infringement, so if you took your image to them, at the *very least*, make sure there's no identifying marks whatsoever that would indicate you are not the copyright holder. I mean NOTHING. You *might* possibly get away with it at Kinko's if you take it in during the midnight shift. I used to work both evening and night, and the night folk were much more relaxed, artistic night-owls, and more likely to ignore copyright stuff if we figured it was just for the person's own personal pleasure. Any other time, you could try to get them to make a print, but they'd probably just tell you sorry, copyright, and then get a manager to tell you the same if you threw a fit. Hope this helps.

oh god yes, at least. specially if you are paying any sort of real money for it, if you were just buying a cheap print from a bin, you wouldn't mind, but you don't want to get a custom print and get close to it and see all the bitmapping

That would be an excellent poster, for an excellent anime based on a novel series.

OP, do you have any more of those, perchance?

THANK YOU OP!!!
I have been around anime and anime nerds for years, and YOU are the only person (apart from myself,) that has heard of the 12 kingdoms. I LOVE THAT SHOW. It really is too bad they ran out of funding before they finished it u_u

Don't be ridiculous. Everyone I know who watches animu has seen that show. Look on AniDB sometime - you'll see it's got over 5,000 votes - only the most popular animes get those sort of numbers.

Ran out of funding? Such a pity.

Damn good series.

i have to agree, but if it was like most anime they would've tried to tie it all up in the final episode only to fail miserably. loved what there was of it though.
>> Annoymous
the 300 DPI necessity I don't mind, but the resolution thing is important. If I had an image at a decent DPI, would i have a lot more leeway in stretching it?

I'm going for 22x28 prints here.

Not lack of funding. 3 reasons that I'll list for you.
1. Character designer got sick.
2. Almost caught up to the books.
3. Yoko is not the main character in the books, and they had already done all of her story. You remember that kid that went to the "real" world or whatever? How his story kinda went nowhere? He was going to be the next lead, but they decided that they would end it instead.

Also damn I mad this 4 days ago, surprised me that it's still here. Good info though, thanks.
