I have asked this before, but never got a satisfactory answer.
<p>Lets say I did the coolest raytrace, and wanted to make a 2ft. x 4 ft
poster (like the ones you get at Blockbuster).  OR let's say I wanted
to produce a calendar for my business...
<p>Obviously my ink jet doesn't have the necessary quality to do these,
but where can I go to get these files output either as a negative or a
poster?
<p>Last time I asked this and someone said "a service bureau".  I
looked everywhere, but found no such thing.

Try the following link to the service bureau that I use...

Printing to large scale IRIS or CrystalJet printers is not cheap - but
the output vibrant & colorfast.

Good Luck,

Tony

Printing images has always been hard!

Obviously your resolution will have to be good enough for the output (should
match it).  As to what you can do with it, one of the best things I've seen
is Fiery XL prints... quick, inexpensive and look great!  If you want
something that will last longer the next best thing is IRIS, which is more
expensive... If you want REALLY expensive, you can get it image set and if
you can get a person that can do negitive full color image sets on the same
film (not channel split) then you can get direct exposures onto photographic
paper done...  Look supperb!!!  And the color never fades!

Of course that's the expensive way out as I said... so shop around and see
what your local printer/service bureau can do for you.

Also another note, it may be best to convert (or if you can do it) render to
CMYK... that way you're assured that the output will match the image on
screen.
