How to spread out a photo over many printed pages?

OzyOly · 5 Apr 2008 at 16:50

Hey, I'm not sure what the name is for this, but I've exampled of it on here. Basically, I want to take a photo or image and print it off in parts over many pages.

Anyone know what I mean? More to the point, anyone know how to achieve it?

Cheers.

There was a site I found somewhere that does it for you.... I'll try and find it again.

EDIT: That was easy - http://www.blockposters.com/

Which one have you used? The blockposter or rasterbator?

Cos the block poster one will bum your toner

I used both. My toner will go at some point. But i've only had the printer a week, so have enough left for my work i hope. If not, £50 a new one.

You can refill toner for under a tenner , just buy some toner powder off the 'bay.
depends on what model of printer youve got, and whether its easy to refill.
edit: search for "toner refill [brand of your printer]" should get you some results

Ah, it will be ok. I'll just get the retail replacements.

For the larger posters I'm going to use the printer in the college computer room across the road at uni.

We get charged per page, not by how much tonner we use.

I think the rasterbater one looks better, for sure.

No worries. The one on the left is the rasterbation one, the one on the right it block poster.

Edit- and I want that guitar, even though the edge doesn't know where he left his. Only 3 made.

I think a massive rasterbater poster, with a certain parts done with the block poster would look awesome (not for this one but certain ones i can see it working well)

I don't know...might work ok for this one. Blur out the edge and keep the infinite guitar in block poster.
