If somebody can get a good, high-quality scan I can print them on our plotter at high quality on photo paper for about $15-$20. It may come out to be a little less, but I won't know until I print one and see how much ink is used. It would be printed on 24" wide paper so there would be white space if you want to frame it, just have to put matting in to keep the paper from sitting on the glass. We sell renderings from this plotter and they look fantastic, definitely photo quality at 1200x1200 dpi.

Let me know if anyone wants to get a scan and send it over on CD. A good quality would be at 450dpi or greater and in a .tif (uncompressed) format. I'll pay your scanning costs and add it to my costs before making prints for everyone. I know Kinkos scans large prints usually the same day.

 

No offense and being a newbie, don't wanna ruffle any feathers, but that seems a bit high when originals, if you can find them, don't go for much more than that. Seems like someone could do a reprint for half that to us, but I know crap about printing. Thanks for looking into it.

 

Steel warrior, slow down and take a look at the cool and generous offer made by John...

All we now need is one of the poster owners to kindly go to Kinkos and the board will all benefit, thanks to John's help.

Atypical reacting to one post before reading all the posts on my part. Sounds good to me.

 

Put me down for one.

Thanks

 

I think I'm pretty close with the $20-25 cost. Just looked up the paper and it's about $207 for a 36"x100' roll of HP photographic shipped so about $8 for the paper each print. The ink cartridges are $260 each color (4 color printer) so I need to figure out how many prints/cartridge I can get or if I can find them at a better price somewhere. I'm figuring I can get 75-100 full size, full color prints per cartridge. I'm figuring a low number of prints/cartridge since we haven't had this plotter long enough to run through the cartridges.

The plotter does a wonderful job of color matching (much better than our old one) so they should be a close enough match to the original that you can't tell, except for the fact it's on photo paper instead of poster paper. If they are printed you will have to be careful about getting it wet until you frame it. The ink cures well but can still be affected by direct water contact....so stay out of the rain.

All you would need to add is shipping.

Well, gotta go out and change the right side CV boots before we take off for vacation Friday.

 

I meant with John's help

I dont know where I got "Larry" from

 

Phew....for a minute there I thought you figured out my secret identity was "Larry the cable guy". Glad that secret's still safe.

I'll be gone for a week so if anyone is willing to have their poster scanned please post it here and let me know. I'll send you a free glossy, photo copy for giving us the opportunity to share in the 928 land speed record spirit.

 

He meant Leisure Suit Larry

 

Count me in. There are other cool ones while you're at it
