Printing large capital letters.

hardpressed

I want to make a poster and need to print out capital letters about 3" tall,and thick enough to be read from a distance, can anyone tell me how to do it. The biggest I can get are 1" tall.

For big letters, how about this
For pictures but nothing stopping you doing it with letters
(ignore the name )

Or can you do it in a paint program and enlarge the letters?

you can just use Word (just type in a number in the font size, say 400), but how are going to print it out?

If you have MS Publisher use that. Set the page size to what you want and type your letters in whatever size font you like.

Then if the page size you selected is bigger than A4 and your printer's max print size is to A4 Publisher will automatically slice your image up and print each segment on seperate A4 pages which you can then glue together.

The gallery on the site is great - seeing the use people have put it to.

I'm amazed it's not much better known. According to the stats on site it's been running 777 days - but I only found it relatively recently.

Same here "sra" I found the site recently and have been dying to try it out.
Sister called round the other day her son will be 18 and wanted me to blow up a couple of photos for the windowyou know the type of thing.
Anyway i thought this sounds a good reason to try that site out.
It's on 15 sheets of A4.
I have not stuck it together yet and just layed it on the floor and took a snap of it.
