The Rasterbator (NSFW)

You should also spend a few bucks on card stock instead of plain copy paper. I imagine it would make it look better mounted on a wall.

Where can I get the original boondock saints image?

[samster]

Actually, what sort of image resolution do you need for this to look good and not [censored]?

1400x933 jpeg of that same image

I think there's a forum on the rasterbator site, perhaps digging around there will bear fruit.

Also, did anyone play around with the dot sizes? I'd rather not print out 100 pages and then see that it looks stupid

bigger the dots, lower the quality. i went with 5mm

[yasher]

smaller is better. i have a 4x4 page of the boondock saints photo that i printed just to get an idea of what kind of a project i was lookin at (thank god my ink cartridges are like $6 at walmart), and i used 10mm dot sizes... the picture looks fine even from up close.

when i get my ass to kinko's (probably tomorrow), i'm gonna use 5mm dots (because why not - they charge by the page right, why not use their ink up?). apparently kinko's printers are good enough that you can print on the entire page, so you dont have to worry about cutting the edges off.

i think im gonna buy some good card stock and print each page onto that, and then mount the card stock onto some foam board, or some posterboard or something. i want to be able to transport this thing if i move, ya know?

im trying to decide on glue vs double sided tape, and im still doing some thinking about what image i wanna use.

i think this might be worth a trip report, when im done.

wow i didn't even think about double sided tape. the longest and MOST annoying part was rolling 4 pieces of tape for each sheet of paper.

i originally wanted to gluestick them to some foam board, that woulda been clutch, but i'm cheap.

post pics when ur done

[yasher]

Villain posted a link to a really neat website; I found a couple pics I liked, but the damn site is written in flash, so I just took a screenshot, pasted it into paint, then cropped it up in some photo software.

Two photos I'm considering using, from the site he linked:





mel,

i'll definitely keep you guys updated. im excited.
