[url]http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/[/url]
I've been holding off posting this for weeks because I wanted to take pics of the stuff on my walls. Stupid classmates not lending me their cameras :mad:
Anyway... This website lets you make infinatly large posters out of the tinyest jpegs on your computer.
I have an 8ft tall Optimus Prime on a wall in my living room. It came from a 300 pxl tall jpeg :cool:

What it does is (after you select the size) make dots of various sizes in accordence with tonal shifts in the image (like old newspaper printing).
It gives you a PDF file of your picture and you print out pages and pages of A4 sheets of dots that dont make sense untill you join them...
BAM! Wall sized poster!

(click for bigger)
The thing is hefty on ink, so it's better to pay for printing or print at school.
but $3.50 for this sorta stuff is pretty cool.

[QUOTE=Wesley Sonck]wait, what res does it print at?[/QUOTE]
it doesnt work in pixles. It creates scaled dots. There is no pixelisation.

scaled dots?
dpi = dots per inch = sounds like 'scaled dots' to me
i still dont understand

Also. This never works for everyone.
If you cant get your image to come up, update flash. Even then it might not work. I had to uninstall and reinstall flash even though I updated. Then it worked fine.
