|
|
i'm looking to begin rasterbating soon, and i need to find a good print shop that can print off massive (49+ page) pdf files in various colors on decent quality photo paper (or glossy equivalent). are there any good copyworks/kinkos/kodak-style print shops in the gangnam area? any suggestions?[/url] |

well, i did post the same link when i started this thread. but my questions aren't about rasterbation itself. they are about where to go to print massive PDF files. |

I've been told by friends that they have trouble getting people at Staples to understand what they want done with thir rasterbations. I assume it's gonna be difficult for ya.
Anyways, I don't think rasterbations look good at all. The dot size used to create them is far too large...you have to stand a mile away to see a clear image. I use a program called "picture window." |

rasterbations can be hit and miss. there are also different settings to tinker with that can make or break a rasterbation. perhaps they used a poor dot size. the picture used, it's contrast, how good it looks in black and white (or whatever colors you choose) are also incredibly important. i've had some made that look stunning. i've had others that i've just thrown in the trash. |

yeah, I understand what you mean. I spent an afternoon tinkering with it, trying tons of different dot sizes, using various pictures and tinkering with the contrast and such. I just could never get the results I wanted. |

i downloaded a trial version of the program you mentioned, picture window. i'm having trouble figuring out how to "blow up" the picture though, so that it prints off on seperate pages (like a rasterbation). how do i go about doing this? it looks like a pretty cool program if i could just figure out how to do that. |

In picture window, you can't do it until you go to print. When you go to print you will get a new menu before printing. The program has a lot of print options that will come up...these include the ability to blow your picture up onto multiple pages. |
