The thing im actually wondering is... whether their computer or printing machine can handle opening a 300mb sized pdf (25 pages)

I tried opening with my c2d with 2gb ram, and that lags.

Adobe softwares are very slow.

I'd say the whole process of printing, cutting, framing, mounting, and adjusting took around 4~5 hours total. As for the ink... I don't think it even used half of the cartridge... maybe not even a quarter. I printed on regular paper on regular print quality. I got a Canon MX700 for printer.

My canon printer's driver has an option to to print poster and it will automatically split the pictures, it's print in such a way that you can glue one over the other to make a seemless poster or leave it for the frames effect, but white only. Also it keeps the details, I guess I don't have to use the Rasterbate software. The only thing it can't do is print poster is borderless mode. I really want/need one of those a paper slicer, cutting with scissor isn't doing the trick.

I don't have any design experience, but what I do is resize the image to a higher resolution, use the Texturizer's filter, and then resize it back.

If you dont rasterbate it (aka... have dots), you're basically missing the whole point of that!

Its cause your suppose to have a picture far away, but when you go close up, its actually all dots!

Mine does too, but it's limited to split to 2 pages, 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4. It's really limiting. And like others said, dots up close gives it a unique look

EDIT: you can try a ruler + knife, worked out pretty well in my case.

I dont know what else to use... I tried using both adobe reader AND preview to open it.

unless Im needing to change the format of the pdf to something else, Im pretty sure its gonna crash the copy center's computer.

Here is my rasterpiece, thanks to this thread

Dot Size: 8mm
Dimensions: 5 x 6 Letter Size
Original Pic: here

(white balance is a bit screwed up on my cam sorry)

I think it might have turned out better if I increased contrast a bit before rastering to make the colours pop a bit more.

Foxit reader.

Our school has laser printers that are free to use, b&w only. I am thinking I make a huge one, just print off 10 pages daily before school. Any image suggestions?

Anyone try to take the individual sheets and post them on a painting canvas or something?

I really don't want to hang up ~16-20 frames on my wall for this. Also isn't there a device to connect a bunch of frames together?

 

[mrdeadfolx]

Yeah, like 3, maybe 4 times a week. I thought everybody did!

Someone else did this...

 

[MuZI]

What is that?

Black poster board?

I've been experimenting with Rasterbator for a few weeks, and I came up with this :



Strangely, all the guys love my door

I'm really satisfied with the boondock saints one.

I believe the correct term is Rasterize...well, that's what it was some years ago when I first saw this program. Never tried it though.

 

[Fido2]

Anyone ever had your roomate walk in on you while you were rasterbating?

 

[Wildsurfer]

Actually he helps me rasterbate
