Poster format Exposure, suggestions/help

Post by LivingDead65 »

I've been trying to get more into screen printing lately. I have experience making smaller scale print pieces and t-shirts but would like to try large, poster scale prints.

However i've been trying to find an affordable way to produce a poster-sized film positive with which to expose my screen, and so far I haven't found anything...

Printing transparencies at 8.5x11 isn't too difficult obviously, but I'm looking for a way to make a single exposure for art work at around 19x25in.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

And what type of epson printer is that?

Remember the operative word is 'affordable'
Dropping 5k on a large format printer is not really an option for me...though i'd love to own one :roll:

I 've had mine a few years, it's a 9500, it makes a great indoor photo as well. You could probably find one for less than 5.
