Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / May 2006Anyone near Milton Keynes, who...
...is planning on going to either the 101 'unofficial' this weekend or Eastnor Castle. I'm about to make an eBay purchase for something a bit bigish (size of a large suitcase weighing circa 10K) which is in Milton Keynes. Would happily part with some beer tokens :-)  Signature"We have gone from a world of concentrated knowledge and wisdom to one of distributed ignorance.

Prof. Peter Cochrane, formerly of BT Labs In memory of Brian {Hamilton Kelly} who logged off 15th September 2005 I live not far from there, but am not going to either event... However, if you need me to collect it and store it for a while, then im more than happy to. Mark 9090 > ...is planning on going to either the 101 'unofficial' this weekend or > Eastnor Castle.

By the way, I keep meaning to ask you... Did / do you work for Fujifilm in Hemel? Signature"We have gone from a world of concentrated knowledge and wisdom to one of distributed ignorance.

I knew in the depths of my aged unforgettory that you did summat like that :-) Do you have any contact with anyone who'd know about very large format printing - ideally onto something weatherproof? I know the limitations of the original image is the governing factor - but TBH, I'm not overly bothered how they look 'close up', more from a distance. If that makes any sense!

Any decent signwriter should be able to help you. The chap I use for signage for work has a digital printer that'll take 2m wide bits of almost anything - plastic, canvas, cotton, corflute.... the list (and possibilities) are almost endless. He charges about £40 per square metre of printing.

Our local (Rotherham) supplier has just moved to the Sheffield Airport - he does digital up to a metre wide and can almost certainly do bigger stuff when needed. Can't find them on the web right now.

There are a few things I'd like, firstly the pixelation softened on the large print (which I guess is some kind of technical trickery - I've seen quite low res pictures 'blended' in this way on large prints). Secondly, it needs to be on a very strong material - strong enough for a gazeebo wall in a strongish wind. The print must we well weatherproof too - which a lot of the ink stuff isn't, being designed for indoor use. Finally (cough) it needs to be pretty cheap :-) I had a company who we used to deal with offer an amazing deal but they've recently been taken over by some German outfit who are currently moving everything to Romania or somesuch :-( Signature"We have gone from a world of concentrated knowledge and wisdom to one of distributed ignorance.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >I've seen quite low res pictures 'blended' in this way on large >prints). ain't that called anti-aliasing? or is it interpolation? it depends on the computing power available, anyway - the simple way to remove pixellation is to increase the resolution and interpolate and/or resample. starting with e.g. a 1280x960 image, you get unacceptable pixel sizes if you print it more than about 12x9 - and even that's only getting you around 100 dpi. magazine quality printing is typically 1200 dpi these days, so a full-page in a magazine would need to be something like 12000x9000 pixels... but that makes for supergiant file sizes. I guess if you get the software right it can interpolate on the fly on the way to the printer, and only work on a bit of the image at a time. I found it taxed this machine (which has a mere 1.5GB of ram) even doing a simple B&W gif to really big sizes. Mind, my software is hardly cutting edge. >Secondly, it needs to be on a very strong material - strong enough for >a gazeebo wall in a strongish wind.
