Veteran users might already know the concept that is applied to those images from services such as <a
href="http://www.ghacks.net/2006/11/30/create-huge-rasterized-images-from-pictures/">Rasterbator</a> or <a
href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/30/create-large-wall-posters/">Block Posters</a> which we reviewed earlier.</p><p>The process of creating a poster is divided into three steps. A photo or image is loaded in step one. This image is automatically shown in the large area on the right divided into A4 units. Each unit will be printed on one sheet of paper in the printing stage.</p><p><span

The initial display might for instance not be optimal.</p><p>Easy Poster Printer offers to:</p><ul><li>Stretch the image</li><li>Change the posters dimensions and measuring unit</li><li>Change the background color</li><li>Rotate and flip images</li><li>Apply paper scaling so that the image fits perfectly on the selected number of paper sheets</li><li>Select the paper orientation (portrait or landscape)</li><li>Select the print quality and cut lines</li></ul><p>A Zoom preview can be enabled which can be used to determine the quality of the poster that is created. A click on the Print Poster button will send the print job to the printer from where it is then printed.</p><p>Easy Poster Printer supports several standard formats from A0 to B3 and provides the options to add new formats to the list for future uses.</p><p>The program supports posters with a maximum size of 20mx20m which should be enough for most purposes.</p><p>The software program is easy to use and yields results in less than a minute after loading the photo or image into the program.</p><p>The poster printer is freely available at the developer&#8217;s website. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. The program requires the Microsoft .net Framework.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2010/02/10/poster-printer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>12</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Create Large Wall Posters</title><link>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/30/create-large-wall-posters/</link> <comments>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/30/create-large-wall-posters/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:38:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martin Brinkmann</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Online Services]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Web]]></category> <category><![CDATA[block posters]]></category> <category><![CDATA[create-poster]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gift ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[posters]]></category> <category><![CDATA[print poster]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rasterbator]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wall posters]]></category> <guid

href="http://www.ghacks.net/2006/11/30/create-huge-rasterized-images-from-pictures/">Rasterbator</a> in the past that converted an image into a rasterized wall poster. <a
href="http://www.blockposters.com/step1.aspx">Block Posters</a> is a similar service with the difference that the images are not rasterized which makes the results even more impressive.</p><p>A large wall poster is created in three steps. An image is uploaded to the website from the user&#8217;s computer in the first one. Step 2 is the actual creation process. The user picks the size in Din A4 sheets that he wants the poster to be. Images with larger resolutions work better than smaller ones obviously. The default setting is a width of 4 pages which can be changed to another figure between 1 which would be the original size of the image to 10. Choosing a width of ten would make the wall poster 7 feet wide and 5.6 feet high. The default width of 4 would still create a 2.8 feet wide and 2.2 feet high wall poster.</p><p>Once the width has been selected the user can change the view from portrait to landscape and the format from A4 to US Letter if he likes. A click on continue will create the wall poster on the server and provide a download in PDF format.</p><p><span
