so about a year ago i saw a thread on how to print out images on to multiple pages, so you can join them together and create big posters.
i cant remember if it was a seperate program or a feature on a popular one.
people posted up some pretty cool work they did with it though

i have been searching this forum for the past 2 hours looking for it.

if you know how to do it, or know where the thread is...hook me up.

no, its a website that processes an image off of your hd and then you download the pdf file it makes you and print it.

yeah i just found that out about illustrator too.
it seems the larger the source image the better quality output i am gonna get, makes sense, so i am wondering how some of the examples on that site are sooo huge and yet very clear.
still experimenting with it.

i've already gone through a cartrige of ink scince yesterday.

I use a program called wall photo maker, really basic and easy to use.
