So I like to print my own posters
So awhile ago, I found a rocking picture. Nowhere an available poster to be found, I decided to print it and put it together myself. Before you(I) knew it, it became a hobby. And as the white space gets covered, the remaining white space looked more and more ugh. So, more wall-coverings were made.
Quite a lot of the pictures that were posterized comes from AP. Big thanks to the makers for the awesome wallpapers, or the people that posted the scans.
The white lines you might notice is proof of how hard it is to precisely cut the margins off each printed page.

Wow... seems you had a lot of work to do. ;D
Really nice idea. :)
Wish I had such a good printer... chrchr...
Mine is just an old Canon BJC-4200, that even can't print anymore, yet. T_T
What did you use to print these pictures?

What did you use to print these pictures?
It was a Canon i560. It's broken now. I'm using an iP1700 right now. Normal paper.
I think it's a little bit expensive, isn't it? :D
At least when you buy original cartridges.
But I think the result is worth it. ;)

Yeah, never rebuy the cartridges with the printheads on there. Those are like $40. i560 uses a built in printhead, so the cartridges themselves are oh..$4 a piece?
If you have a printer that uses expensive cartridges, it might be a good idea to refill the ink yourself if you want to save money.

Very nice
How do you stick the pieces of the poster together?
I used to use tape on the back, and glue in the seams.
Do you overlap the pages?
I used to print an extra 1cm (0.5cm on each side of the join) so that there would be no white seam, or rather so that I didn't need to be as precise with cutting. I used to use Microsoft Publisher to make up and print posters, though I moved on to use Luxor Poster Print 3.

+++ So long, and thanks for all the fish +++
Wow you are quite good at that i wish i could do something like that but i would never have the money
Is Luxor only for macs? Because I use PC and Ace Poster, which I don't think is advanced as Luxor. Each page would be printed with margins on all four sides, and I would cut all four sides off and tape the back with clear scotch. If you look at the Jin one, some of the edges have started to peel. That was a mistake using masking tape, which loses a lot of its strength after time. It'll have to be retaped when I decided to get off my ass.
And as the the cost, well this started back in '05. I would do about one poster every one or two months. The ink I mentioned I bought cheap in bulk from myinks.com, and I used normal 8.5x11 printing paper to save money.

Haha... yes... built-in printhead cartridges are very expensive. I looked up the price for cartridges compatible to your printer here in germany. It's round about 1 Euro for one colour. Wish I had the money to buy such a printer. :)

You know what Schattenwolf, I don't even know if they sell the i560 series anymore (other then on ebay from users). So it was indeed a dark day when it finally died. The ip1700 I'm using now I bought for around $50. It uses the expensive cartridges though, so I've resorted to refilling the ink myself.
Yeah, your right... I only found the i550, so the i560 seems to be somewhat extinct. :D But, like I said, I don't have the money to buy a good printer at the moment. ^^;
At EBay most times I have no luck, because the pro-auctioneers would buy everthing that's cheaper than the normal price in stores to just get some profit from reselling it. --.--"
Yeah... I refilled my cartridges too. The only problem is that you have to use it very often, so the ink won't dry out (if it's cheap ink). I think due to this problem my BJC-4200 isn't printing anymore. Perhaps I should cleanse the print-head with some terpentine. oO;

Luxor is only for Mac's, though I only switched to it from Microsoft Publisher so that I could print at a higher resolution than 300dpi (and I bought a Mac).
When I made up posters, I only cut off two of the margins on each page, that way I had more overlap to glue/tape. I always used transparent scotch tape (used to use it on the front and back before I changed to glue), that stuff seems to keep it's strength.
I think the first posters I made would have been back around 2000, I used to make batches of posters. The last one I made would have been around a year ago.

I was just gonna point out that there are programs that can convert images into multiple pages poster size/ large multiple sheets posters. But seems you know there existence

Yeah, transparent scotch tape really is the way to go. I retaped all the ones that once used masking tape like the GiTS OST and Mugen. The scotch holds it in place a lot better.
