I just found my school’s wide format glossy color printer in the fine arts building. It can print 16”x21” in 2800 dpi. Since I have bare walls in my apartment I thought I’d print a few posters to spruce things up. I’ve already printed this… (turned out awesome)

I’m having trouble finding very high resolution photography and downloadable posters to print out. I wondered if anyone knew of some internet repositories for such things.
Also if you have just any generally cool ideas of things to print, that would be greatly welcomed too.

Oh! that's totally brilliant! when i have more time i'll have to turn one of my favorite books into some wall art

update: i fooled around in photoshop a bit and i think i can use clipping masks to turn the text of a novel into a full color photo... now i just have to decide what book and what picture i want to use

fuuhggettabout your nerdy posters.

Look.

To your left.

See her?

SEARCH and PRINT!

Besides, you need to take female anatomy courses in koolidge. It's man-datory.

Well, certainly Google would be your friend if you were to search for "hi resolution" whatever. Keep in mid, though, that nobodoy will post too much online in high res because then someone else can print it and possibly even sell it. There have got to be some places out there, though. If you can't right click and get it form the site, remember that it probably lives in your cache at that point anyway...(you didn't hear that from me...)

If you are hear at head-fi, go search out some headphone or component photos. Manufacturers love to post tha kind of stuff.

Hmm, what was that program that allowed you to put in a picture and print it out across multiple pages in poster form? It was on here a while back, I'm sure it was called "Rastifior" or something weird...

Sarah McLachlan from the MMM media archive. 2400 X 3000 should be big enough for you. I have a couple more of those burned on CD somewhere.

Aha, thank you kind sir. I knew it had a weird name

 

[iSleipnir]

^ I didn't know something like that existed! Now I have a new excuse to use the platter printer in the tech labs.

 

[dougmwpsu]

ok, i'm off to campus to make a dvd and play with photoshop... i'll show you guys the awsomeness when i get back.

and speaking of the rasterbator, here's a neat idea i found on college humor. if i still lived in the dorms i'd totally be there.

I have a massive panoramic photo of Mars in my room. (my dad had access to one very large printer), and while you can't print something as big, Nasa has some very cool hi-res photos of Mars/Hubble shots.

I just remembered: you can find a lot of large good art on Deviant Art. Last time I found some I printed it out and put it on my wall.

Dude, rasterbate some uber-high resolution image of Jessica Alba or something.

http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/

check the skins.be forums, I've seen some crazy resolutions of Jessica Alba there.

Now click one of those alba pictures, tell me if the res is good enough for you

.

I clicked one.. the res... : 4058 x 2700 pixels

Wow, that prime poster is amazing. I wonder if there is one like that for PI. I know this is a lot to ask, but would you be willing to take a picture of the poster you printed off on your wall? I would be willing to pay you to print me off one and pay for both way shipping if it's nice, if you'de be kind enough to do so for me, I just find that too awesomely geeky.

Edit :: Checked the site, now I want the pi and e one. Wow, I'm such a nerd. I might order it from them, i'll see.
