Rasterbations - Large poster sized images

[Books]

Have any of you ever tried out Rasterbator?

It basically takes a normal sized image, reproduces it using dots and spans it across how many ever pages you want.

The online tool is very useful and they even have a downloadable version (PC only unfortunately). I created a few different images but have to print em out tomorrow.

If anybody has one, please share. I'd like to see what some people came up with. The ones they have in the gallery were pretty sweet too.

If it's Windoze only, tough but I won't use it!

I'm sure someone will try it out though.

Nice, I really want to try this for our band's practice room...

all you really need is an acetate of the image, an overhead projector, and a lot of time.

Or take it to Kinkos or Alphagraphics and have them print it on a large format ink jet at photo quality... typical 22x28 size should only run around $60-$80.

Yeah, but this method costs a few bucks...

pretty cool. Seems just like regular page tiling to me though. You'd also need a printer with borderless printing capabilities, unless you like cutting off page borders.

It could be used pretty creatively, but for a poster sized...well, poster, I'd choose the real thing. Presentation would just be a whole lot better - the inks would last longer too.

tough to find a a poster that is 5'x7' large. And when your school doesn't have any policies on printing its free to go to the library and print it up
