Question: I'm making a cardbaord cut out!. how much would it cost to get a picture blown up at staples to 6'2"!?
a friend and i are making a cardboard cutout of a character from a movie!. i found a picture online and got rid of all the background!. if i printed the picture and took it to staples, how much would it cost if i wanted the person to be blown up to 6'2"!? and if i printed the picture on regular paper, would it become all pixely (it's a decent sized picture) or would it be blown proprortionally!? answers are needed quickly!. i want to find this out before said friend will be back next friday!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would contact your local Staples!. Not all of them have the equipment to print a picture that tall and might have to send it out!. The way they figure out how much to charge is by the square foot when you get into large format printing!. A standard poster size poster is around $40 so you are looking around paying about double that!.
As far as if it becomes all pixelated it would depend on the size and resolution of the picture!. The best way to keep as much resolution that you can is to bring the picture in on a CD or Thumb drive!. If you print it out then they will need to scan it in and could lose some quality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
