    you can do this with a progrm called Poster7


    problem is most printers cant print right to the edge so there is a LOT of trimming involved.

    I did this a couple months ago with that site. I used 11 x 17 paper, it was printed on a new digital color copier

    This thing is around 4.5' wide x 6.5' tall. Turned out wicked.

    Took me around 4 hours to trim and put together. It was a pain in the ass.

    I printed from photoshop. The website puts your image into pdf format. I had to play with it for a while to get the best printout. I couldn't get it to print to the edges of the page even though our new copier will do it. It just wasn't turning out right.
