Vintage work crew photos

LOL on the heavy press cap!

Got to thinking, as I've seen custom wall paper from pics. Just a quick search and this popped up. https://www.megaprint.com/wallpaper.php

Here is a link to the pricing...don't know the size of your wall. https://www.megaprint.com/prices-sizes-prints.php

This is for a 8' x 12' smooth wallpaper. Not bad $$ for an all out man cave, but I would have to chat with them about resolution.



Another possibility would be a Halftone printing of some type where the resolution isn't as high. Old school but still around.

P.S. let me know about the PM I sent, and I'd be happy to prep the artwork for you.

Looking at the pictures on that site, they're using a large format HP inkjet very similar the one we have (a Z6200); it's max color resolution is 2400 x 1200 "optimized dpi"; it makes pretty good looking images from standard files. (300ppi or lower.) The printer driver does a lot of pretty smart interpolation to achieve that "optimized dpi" bit.

Their FAQ gives you an idea of what they expect to be working with.

Some day I'm going to get around to printing out a few of my photos on it, then I'll be able to definitively tell.

I talked to our communications director about her experience with it this morning, she said 300DPI looked quite good even when printed very large. Now, 'very large' in this case was like 2½ x 3 and 3 x 4 ft-sized photos for awards and retirement ceremonies, not wall-paper sized..
