Create giant posters in 60 seconds

That's right! Super cool billboard posters, up to 20 metres in size using your regular inkjet printer.

RASTERBATOR is a slick piece of software that allows you to turn any photo into giant posters. Here's how they describe it:
The Rasterbator creates huge, rasterized images from any picture. Upload an image, print the resulting multi-page pdf file and assemble the pages into extremely cool looking poster up to 20 meters in size.
You can either download the software to be used offline, or use their online Flash app which works just as well.

Example of what's possible:



Here's a screenshot of what the online app looks like. It's a simple step-by-step process. By the way, this one depicts Roundhead & Double D, the guys behind Traffic on TraxxFM:

warning: it's going to use up a lot of your ink! I printed about 10 pages, and I stopped because I can't bear the huge consumption of ink.

Ah yes! I should have added a precautionary statement to warn everyone. It's a pity there is no way to preview the end result prior to printing. Thanks for the heads up!

Rasterbator.... hehehehe! They should've chosen a better name. Guess what Firefox's internal spell check gives as a first option?
