    Yeah. I think youll be good, unless the container is open. otherwise to much dust/shit could of contaminated it. but yeah. wall paper paste will work perfectly. I forgot what kind shephard fairey uses, but its like golden harvest I think.

    if your on a pc just blow it up in ms paint set up the print settings with no margins, and it prints them on on a grid, you cut of the edges and tape.

    or print out the image normal size and take it to a place that dus large format printing like kinkos or copy mate,

    The people who work at the kinkos by me are normally teenagers, mainly asian and black. and theres always some old indian guy there. they don't care what's on it, as long as you pay for it.

    I mainly go to staples. they are cheaper and have more options, they also have a little do it yourself scan area so if your paranoid, you can do it there :p

    yea, i like legal size posters, you can print out a full sheet at home then cut it in fourths, then blow the up to legal size and tape together!


    and agreed about staples

    trying something new....

    paper cutout posters. tried three different outline cuts. For this design, I think I actually like the square poster best. And I don't usually like square-cut posters.

    Anyways, more to come soon. These are time-consuming but I like em.

    revisiting printing...

    After skimming threw a couples posts i guess its well established Staples is one of the cheapest printers, but as one who wants to "GO BIG" with prints (2'x3') and beyond i found they are around $42 for one 2'x3' print. I am wondering if there are printing buisness's that will print the same size for a significantly cheaper price or if doing the print on my home printer via the grid method is more price efficient/labor efficient? i am also open to other methods that will help solve my problem.
