The Rasterbator is software that lets you use an ordinary printer to creates huge (up to 66'/20m!) rasterized posters from any picture.
The images can be visibly tiled:
Or not:
Either way, it's cool and a very inexpensive way to create a dramatic (or at least interesting) custom wall art/decor.
And did I mention it's FREE?

There are other, similar apps available too (eg http://www.blockposters.com/). But with a name like Rasterbator, it has to be good. :)
If you would rather do this offline, and you happen to be on a Linux or Mac, there is a similar, also open-source, application called PosteRazor (http://posterazor.sourceforge.net/). There is even a Windows version of PosteRazor you can install, if you prefer that sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteThe name may not have quite the zing as Rasterbator :) but it is fairly simple to use; and for me (on 64bit Fedora 10) it was easy to install because it is available via Add/Remove Software (i.e. yum).
