Poster Printer
(ver 1.0 BETA)
Abandoned Freeware


The Poster Printer software package works with your existing 
printers to allow you to print documents at a much larger 
size than would fit on a single sheet of paper.  This is 
accomplished by enlarging the document to print to multiple 
pages in such a way that the enlarged image appears to continue 
seamlessly across the separate pages of output. 

The software installs what appears to be a new virtual printer, 
by default named "Poster Printer", to your system.  The new 
printer operates similarly to a "fax" printer, capturing the 
images of documents that are printed to it.

After a document is printed, the "Poster Utility" is automatically 
launched.  From this utility you have the option of printing the 
document as you normally would, or enlarging any particular page 
to make a "poster" out of it.  The enlargement factor can be 
substantial -- if you want, you can make a poster spanning 5 feet, 
or more, from a single 8 1/2 by 11 inch document page.

When pages are enlaged to create a poster, the enlarged pages are 
printed with "cutting guides" that show you which edges to cut off 
using a pair of scissors.  Using transparent tape you then assemble 
the enlarged pages together to create a single poster.

At the edges there is 1/4 inch of overlap in the images.  This 
allows you to align the images to produce a result of nearly 
professional quality.


Limitations:
1. Requires minimum 800 x 600 resolution.
2. Cannot be connected to across a network
	(however it can be used to print to OTHER printers 
	connected across a network).
3. Works best on high color (16 bit or above) displays.
