The poster is set to landscape orientaion of 3x2 feet at 200dpi.

Thanks for checking it-- and all the other posters-- out at:

I love it. So many beautiful MOC’s, and all on one page. They look so good against the black background too. But I definitely won’t be using the inkjet to print that. Yikes.

I did hesitate to make this poster with a black background. I had seen a large train poster with good drawings (not LEGO) that Steve Barile has. It has a black background, and I thought that it looked elegant, as if backed with black velvet fabric. So, I did go for the black background. Agreed, it is an ink-well-sink! It is also a budget-buster to get printed at 2x3 feet at Kinko’s: - US$10 per square foot: 2x3 feet = 6 square feet --> $60

I have printed it at 2x3 feet at Kinko’s on matte (roughish) paper (not glossy).

If you should like to print this poster, you may find a good option is an 11x16.5-inch print on Kinko’s Xerox DocuColor 12 color laser printer. That runs about US$3. I found the color reproduction to be better on the laser than whatever Kinko’s used for the 2x3-footer.

   Thanks for putting that together and sharing all those great MOC’s James. Keep them coming. Play well.

You’re welcome. I hope the brain doesn’t run dry....

later,

James Mathis
