printing posters from low rez

[jjoker]

is ther a way to print a poster from a 1600x1200 (2,1MP) image? I heard a
digital can be transfered to film so I wander if that would help with this
issue?

and also would shoting in tiff help regarding big prints?

thanks...

I have heard that bignose does a pretty good job, even with these small file
sizes. You may want to contact them.

www.bignose.com

No financial interest in this company whatsoever. Just heard they did a
good job at reasonable prices.

I wrote to bignose to ask if they use genuine fractals to upsize their
posters and if so, could I send the GF file instead of the upsized
file...the GF file is much smaller. They said they use GF and I could send
the GF file.

Shooting in tiff will only help if you plan on doing a lot of editing
before printing. On the other hand, either you are they may indeed need
to do some editing.

Here are some tips that may work, depending on what the service does
themselves. To avoid a pixelated (blocky) look you can interpolate to a
greater number of pixels. It will not sharpen picture, but helps avoid
the blocky look. Some of the firms offering the service will do that
anyway.

Before interpolating, try just a tad of gaussian blur. Yeah, this will
make poster even blurrier, but may avoid some wierd artifacts. There
are things worse than blur.

One problem about interpolation is that it makes the file size
horrendous. Thus, if you know the firm will be doing their own
interpolation, you can eliminate this and mail them the smaller file.
See if you can ask them.
