2, 4, 6, 8, Everybody Rasterbate!

If it feels good…. PRINT IT!  Rasterbation rocks!  Don’t let the name fool you.  The Rasterbator is an amazing little app / web app that allows you to create some amazing large format artwork.

What the Rasterbator does is lets you take a regular photo / snap shot and blow it up as large as 20 meters.  The file is rasterized, converted into a multi-page pdf document and prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper, color or greyscale as you’d like.  The results are amazing.

A couple of years ago, when this first came to my attention, I printed a Clone Trooper from Star Wars.  The image ended up being 6 feet tall, and was a GREAT addition to my office.  Quality is based on your print settings and printer’s abilities or limitations.

Depending on your printer and settings, you can print either borderless or with a border, which yields a great artistic look.

I highly suggest that you give this as shot.  The cool thing is that you can rasterbate with someone you love…  ;)
