large format-

[e9]

how do you all normally get the negatives for your photo screens? at the moment I have to tile them out on a copier to transparency, then tape together..this really becomes a pain because of detail and just time..
any good places you know of to get it outputted for large format...
ie..18x24 +

any service bureau can supply film positives.

what kozik said.

IMAGE SETTER.

18x24 should cost you between 20-30 bucks a color

You can take it to Kinko's and have them print it out on a digital plotter on a big sheet of Velleum. It's used mostly for photocopying architectural drawings but also works like a big printer. It runs $15 - $20 a color.

there are printers you can buy at like circuit city or best buy that can do 22x18 tops... they run for like $400 but that would pay for itself after a bunch of posters instead of going to kinkos and getting shit done on the plotter

Yeah but Kinkos employees are so nice and helpful.

I am sorta planning on printing postitives from an hp or epson inkjet wide-format onto vellum. I think the biggest one is 13x19 or so which is pretty good for me... let us other kooks know how it goes.

i go to an architectural copy shop to get my enlargements on bond paper
it costs me like 50 cents to a buck for a 25 x 20 sheet.

[maynard]

Don't you use vegetable oil on the bond paper to "translucentize" them?

[seripop]

yes
i use the ways of the ghetto.
and it works.
well.
