Printing at 200%



Hello:

Poster sounds like a "delicate" program, prefering a diet of eps files
to poststript.  So I made a simple eps image and got poster to double
the size.  That printing did work.  After a bit more head banging, I
got poster to work on a postscript file.  The program did not want to
"scale" images, but worked going from one set page size to another.
It took one page and made it into four.  Unfortunately, the output did
not pass the wall test.  The sheets were taped to the wall, and I
looked at them two rooms away.  Even starting from 24 point bold text
with 2x magnification, it was hard to read.  A fat sharpie though,
that was readible.  So I will not be doing this part by computer.
