Title: I Made My Own Hl2 Poster
Post by: Leaderz0rz on October 31, 2004, 10:42:31 PM
soo i was getting tired of my old old Unreal Tournament poster on my door, and I thought it would be cool to have an updated game..then i remembered I had http://www.deviantart.com/view/4246936/ (http://www.deviantart.com/view/4246936/) on my harddrive.

so I photoshoped it a bit, and used my super cool huge printer (https://www.designjet.hp.com/pdp/render.html?forcePre=Y&new_product=5500PS&page_name=summary&pageseq=164208) to print it...

here is the result

Wow, that's really nice. I definitely gotta get a printer like that for myself; I always seem to have a need for more posters, especially considering I still have quite a bit of open space on my walls. And after I cover my walls, I'll still have my ceiling to cover too.

What in the world do you need such a huge printer for? Aside from free posters.

my mom is an art consultant, she picks art for buildings, and we frame it etc.  well for people who want it, we print the art on canvas and give it an oil painting look.(and alot of people want it) so thats why i have a 44 inch printer in my basement ;p

Anry does create some good artwork. Nice poster usage of it. I want one, but that is a lot of cash for a poster.

Bah, back in my day if we wanted a big poster to show our geekyness, we had to paint it ourselves (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/anem0/paposter.jpg)

Also, my day was apparently September of 2002

Okay first off that is a straight up awesome picture.  Thanks for the link to it too :)

Does the poster have the same glossy look that normal posters have?  Is that kind of printer what they use to make real posters?

Its not the printer scooter, its the paper. Its glossy paper. Glossy paper makes for glossy posters.

God, I'd kill to own a plotter like that (and a life-time supply of ink, paper, etc :p )
My school only owns an HP Plotter, but it's crap. Great for plotting out my stage light plots and architectual house drawings though :)

Yea, if I had something like that, I'd print so many posters nobody would ever find the walls. Ever.
