That poster is cool - but is there a way to convert it to a format that would allow it to be a desktop image? (Free and easy)?
Thanks!

sure adobe 9 or foxit reader both have a snapshot tool

then put it in paint and save it as jpg.

Thanks - found it pretty easily, I just didn't know what I was looking for at first

I too am looking forward to reading the build. It will be very interesting to see if the ink flakes at the folds as the laser printers do.

Someone mentioned further up it didnt do that for one they built that was digitally offset printed.

I chose 65lb paper for this which is what I normally build in. I cant wait to get it!

I just got this in the mail today... it took a bit longer than expected but I think it looks pretty good! Still up for this Billy?

I will confess to having seen the test print before it got mailed to Chris - absolutely stunning IMHO! I think you will be very happy working with it, Billy.
