I've always wanted to find a way to enlarge a particularly beautiful stamp (e.g., an engraved commem) so I can display it in a picture frame and hang it on a wall. Examined too closely, obviously it'd be pretty rough, but from a couple of feet or more, the beauty of the stamp would be clear. Does anyone have an idea for how to do this, ideally without using a photo enlargement service?
Thanks, Peter, but I thought of that. The color on my scanner is pretty awful if I want an accurate depiction, though. I've ordered a wi-fi enabled microscope, so when it gets here I'll take a shot, blow it up to 8 1/2 x 11, and try printing it. I'll show you folks the stamp photo and a photo of the resulting scan, in case you're interested.
If your printer doesn't provide the result you want, I would suggest contacting a local copy/print shop. You may well be able to show up with the file on a thumb drive, have them print out a copy to whatever size you want, and I don't think it would be too expensive. A few $$$ for a color print. If you go extremely big, then you could start running into an expensive project.
