Default My 30"x89" Forum Sig Poster!!

Printed out a 30"x89" poster of my forum sig. Kinda cool and it's HUGE!! Also printed out a few other posters as well. All for free, had the hook up! Ignore the retarded wallpaper, part of living in an apt I guess!



My 2003 Hayabusa (33"x44")


My old 93 Formula (33"x44")


Just a computer background I made from a pic I took (33"x44")

Did you just use a plotter? (a big printer for those who dont know) I have one at my work that I could use, but I'm not sure the quality would be so great. That's really cool. Too bad I dont have a sig

Thanks! It's something different.

I have no clue what it'd cost to print them. I'm sure the 33x44's would be alot more reasonible price-wise to print. I'm pretty sure Kinko's or similar place could print them. When I made my sig, I made it a decently high resolution, I think around 1600. If you're 2-3 feet away, you can see it's pixelated a bit, but any futhur and it's not. With the computer and TV in the way no one will ever be that close. The 33x44 posters were done at a 2000 resolution and to see them pixelated you'd have to be within inches. I also printed them on regular paper since it allows the ink to bleed a little bit.

They're actually printed on huge inkjet printers. They can handle paper up 36" wide and since it's on a roll, however long it ends up being. I have a plotter at work as well and I'm like you I don't think the quality would be that good. I know they're HP printers, but no clue on a model #. I can find out though. I could have printed them out on gloss paper or even translucent paper (like the material on the front of coke machines that lights up). Since it was free, whatever was in the printer is what I used. I wasn't picky!

I work at a sign shop in Norman, OK and we do large format digital graphics like the poster he showed above printed on paper or vinyl (if you'd like to adhere the pic to the wall).

If anyone is interested feel free to PM me a size and I can you you a quote tomorrow when I go into work.

Also if anyone needs something put together with pictures of their car...I'm a graphic designer

Yep rockin' the VCR! It's easy to hook up the camera to so I can record on the computer. I got a DVD player on top of the digital cable box and the computer and TV or hooked up both ways. I can use the TV as a monitor or I can watch TV/DVD on the computer.

Here's what the originals look like
