    Let's rasterbate!

    Do it... http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/

    This has been around for quite a while, but I don't think it's ever been posted on AO. It's this web site that takes any image you want, and blows it up all huge. Then you print it out and you have a big awesome poster.

    It's a pretty good site, you can crop however you want and decide exactly how big you want, plus it's simple and friendly and stuff too.



    My 36 pages of Christopher Walken are terrifyingly awesome.

    Make some rasterbations of your own, let's see 'em!

            I've done that before, but just used microsoft publisher.

            I've done a couple paintball posters, if you get really good and have patience you can cut them out and line it up right and make it almost seamless. Just use the color laser printers on campus

              Eh I just tried it out and I wasn't impressed. The dots are too big and you really have to stand far away or it looks like mush.

              EDIT: Nevermind, if you download the program, you can do the image using much smaller dots, and much better image quality.

                Yeah, download the stand-alone and you can push the dots down to 1mm...
                I'm printing this in color, with 1mm dots.. 10 pages landscape across for my wall in my room.. it's like 65 sheets!

                            I thought you could do that with print options in all sorts of programs?

                            Very neat though.

                              The thing with this program is you don't need a high res image to make a large format print.

                              That poster I made is a 200kb jpeg. You couldn't just blow up a photograph like that normally and print it, it would look horrible. The way this program works allows you to print out small files in large format without it looks like crap.
