    Ms. Damn n' the rest of ya'llz,

    I'm about to put up my masterpiece, but what did you all use to stick it to the wall? I have some double-sided tape that might work, but I don't want to have the edges falling down any time soon. Thanks for your input.

  • how do i get mine to come out in better quality? i printed a nina simone pic on about 24 pieces of paper, but the pixilations are so big she kinda looks like erykah badu.






    um make it smaller or use a bigger/higher res. source picture?





    make what smaller? i would think making it smaller (less pieces of paper) would make it more difficult to deciper/more pixilated. can i make the source pic a higher resolution or is it "it is what it is/"?

    shit, i was never good at arts and crafts



    i prefer to use the rasterbator standalone application instead of the web tool. you can set what size you want the dots to be in mm and the smaller the dot size, the more detailed the rasterized image will be. you can also preview how the rasterezation will look in the application



    des one: you can rasterize gifs with the application



    drewn: i used double sized taped to put it up



    for the most vivid posters, i would print it out using a laser printer. unfortunately i used my injet (and all my cartridge) for the swedish chef one and it doesn't look as vivid as it could be. on the other hand, i made a couple for my boyfriend of spiderman and venom and one of starscream and they both came out really vibrant and glossy on the color laser printer.

    digital paper is not that far off

    "The technology makes it possible to put moving images directly onto paper ... at a cost that would make it economical to use on everything from magazines to cigarette packets ... where the moving images would give more detailed instructions than any photo could ever do,"
    or, of course, you could use it to put really big on your wall

    How are you guys putting these on the wall? Just sticky tape on regular paper? Or are you printing it on special paper?

    I've had a rasterbation waiting to pop () but I've been delayed by trying to think of an efficient and cheap way of putting it on the wall without it looking like just cheap paper.



  • muppets on bikes brilliant!

    I don't live in prison by the way

  • i had to make another one since i moved

    ms damn, how do you get the coloration? am i retarded?

  • if you d/l the stand alone app instead of using the web tool, you have the option of printing black n white, full color, or just choosing one color (which is what i did)

  • canonicalcanonical 2,100 Posts
    Ahhh! Damn, you make them look so good. What are you printing those on?!

  • the work's color laserjet

    Is it on that special, thicker, glossy paper? And how is that sticking to your wall (tape, sticky puddy, magic)?

    Thanks. I just have a billion ideas and access to a printer and these little details have been keeping me from completing them

  • You could always laminate each piece!

    the paper is kinda glossy, but it's not that thick. i use double sided tape, which is time consuming but it doesn't come out all lumpy

    What happened to that piece in the 3rd row, 6th column? It looks pretty jacked up.

    when i put it up, i wasnt sober and that one was upside down. it has been since been remedied, but not before i snapped this raer glory shot.
    this whole rasterbation experience really brought back memories of my early childhood failures at arts & crafts. i was never very good at it. for example, i glued the rasterbation to my wall and it looks retarded unless you're viewing from a distance

    ms damn, that bed needs to be made ? am i retarded?
