Allow me to help. Have you heard of E-ON - the official EVE-Online magazine? Well, if you order a subscription that includes issue #005, with that issue comes a HUGE poster very nearly 1 metre wide. A sub costs $55.95 + p&p. So for that you get your poster and four copies of E-ON. 
Yeah to bad all the posters that come with EON are folded and pretty much useless as posters. -------------------------------- As a Freelancer...scratch that Originally by: Shar Tegral Stop projecting your out of game beliefs of what society should be upon the rest of us.

I think a lot of people will be interested in lower quality but cheaper posters. I know I am! I would MUCH rather have 4 lower quality posters then 1 high quality for that $60. Imagine the eve-shop had posters like the one in E-ON, but without the foldmarks and staples in it. I bet ya they would sell like hotcakes :D _______________________________________________________________________

May be this utility could be of use to you:
Rasterbator.
It allows you to take an image and print it over lots of sheets of paper to make a huge poster. take a look at the link and you'll get the idea.

Mmmh, i bought a 20x30cm one a while back,, it's pretty durable and more like a giant photograph than a poster,,
sounds corny but i might get it framed to protect it a bit considering the money i spent,,,

I'd happily pay $60 for each poster, if each was signed by Oveur, and under his sig, he wrote (by hand) "boobies! \o/"

*gets money out* they sure would!
It seems like my feeling that you'd have to get them framed is confirmed by both people in this thread who admitted to buying one. All that outlay for a simply picture is too much for us mere mortals.
Especially when Sarah Harding cost's 40p and a blob of blutack

Originally by: Jason Marshall You think thats expensive, try making a chess set out of the damn things at $1 a CUBIC INCH! oh sooo worth it tho.
Yeah... but this is a POSTER, mate! I want to stick it up in my cubicle. I really can't put a $60 poster in a place where workmates might scratch it or knock it down. (tacks don't stick into cubicle walls very well :( )
Anyway yeah...
Anyone think CCP would send me some VERY high resolution images so that I can take them to a printer myself?
it is indeed a nice poster thet comes with EON, BUT it is folded, so not very good looking on the wall :(

are these the ones that are folded in half, so spending you $60 gets you a very nasty white line through the middle of the poster? There was a thread about it a couple of months back. Some person spent a lot on a poster from your store. But it was packaged by folding it, and it left nasty while lines through it (to any reader, try folding a photograph sharply, it pulls up some of the "ink" stuff).
Do you put them in roll tubes now?
I say "you" because or course it's you, personally, who does each any every one

When I got mine it was sent in a tube. Was a 40x30 cm type so it might be different for the larger ones. ---------------------------------------- A Guide to Scan Probing in Revelations |

Edited by: Xori Ruscuv on 06/04/2007 18:16:45 I want 3 posters, but I'm unhappy with the price. So I'm thinking of trying the following "racket" with a couple of friends:
1. Each person buys ONE poster (each different... so, friend 1 would buy the megahtron poster, friend 2 would buy the tempest poster, friend 3/me would buy the stilettos-attacking-geddon poster). 2. Each friend takes his respective poster to a quality printing shop and has high quality "cheap" poster copies made. 3. Each friend then sends one of his copies to each other friend.
At the "end of the day": each person has a high-quality photo style print, plus a decent poster-style print of each of the desired images - all for $60 + costs of printing (probably not that expensive). And since no money is exchanging hands and the reproduced copies are of signicantly less quality, one can argue that no copyright laws are being broken.
Of course, if CCP would just sell poster quality prints, I'd just buy three for $60, as would my two friends. They'd probably make WAY more profit that way.

I got the minmatar titan poster from a buddy for xmas. Damn thing looks like a surveillance photo. Extremely high quality. Thing is so nice I got it framed in a good hardwood frame with matting and museum glass. Poster may have been 60, but the custom framing was 240. Fits right in with the pictures hanging in my office.
Very worth the money. Besides, you think Oveur paints these things on the cheap? He charges through the nose for his time to color these things by the number. |

I might consider something like that, but my cube probably won't support a nice frame :(

Doing the eon subscription thing isnt worth it if you want the poster. When my poster showed up the package had leaked and it got wet, also there are creases in it.
