High Rez RAR

They are awesome mate.

I really like the custom names as well, did you make them up or are they from a book I need to read!

rev

EDIT:

they dont print at the right size in high rez tho

mageboltrat · 26-03-2007, 14:35

They are based on cards. All but Aces High are cards in the Emperor's Tarot. I was a big fan of Space Above and Beyond, all the main characters call signs were cards. King, Queen, Ace, Joker and Jack. So I was going for a 40K version of it.

rev · 26-03-2007, 14:38

I can't seem to get them the right size to print. In photoshop the High rez version comes out uber huge.

What paper did you print your ork one son - normal A4?

mageboltrat · 26-03-2007, 14:44

I've resampled the image at the right DPI and am re uploading it. Should print at right dpi with no problems now. So download it again and give it a try.

rev · 26-03-2007, 17:11

hmm still appears massive - should it print at the right size like the cards did?

mageboltrat · 26-03-2007, 17:48

should do. It's has a really high dpi, but the file is set to the right rezolution so it should print fine.

rev · 26-03-2007, 17:52

hmmm - can u change the filename or something, I think I keep dling the original ones you posted. they're still huge for me.

mageboltrat · 26-03-2007, 18:09

try this file. http://www.epic40k.co.uk/images/imperial-squadron.rar

rev · 26-03-2007, 18:32

the link works, but they're still printing massive.

they are 620pix/cm, but still far to big. I've tried scaling them down, but i'm not sure how big they're supposed to be.

any other bright ideas which might solve it?

mageboltrat · 26-03-2007, 18:52

They are printing out at the right size on my photoshop with no changes. Are you sure you don't have fit to page turned on?

rev · 26-03-2007, 19:04

Ok it worked.

It was coming up in photoshop as only at 8% zoom, so i was trying to resize the image. but when I did that it became huge.

When I left it alone (i.e. had faith in you!) it worked perfectly.

remind me to have faith more often...

Spacker · 26-03-2007, 19:05

I have tested it with CS2, and it appears to print the right size. However, any other application I try will print it huge (IE, Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, Paint). At a guess the resolution setting is ignored by these, and they assume some arbitrary setting like 72lpi.

rev · 26-03-2007, 20:25

did you print your ork ones on regular paper mate or on special photopaper?

did you use standard PVA to stick them down? I don't want the colour to leak and ruin the detail!

mageboltrat · 26-03-2007, 20:31

normal paper. I did varnish the sheet with 2 or 3 light coat of spray to give a bit of protection... then just a bit of pva. could use something stronger but I wanted them to be removable.

Lostanddamned · 05-04-2007, 13:50

hey... I dont suppose you know where I could get a program to open the Rar file do you?

They look so nice, but I dont know what to open them with...

mageboltrat · 05-04-2007, 19:19

http://www.7-zip.org/ this should do the job.

SanguinaryDan · 08-04-2007, 14:25

They look great but my iMac keeps downloading them as some sort of text file when I click the link. Is there some other way to get these?

mageboltrat · 08-04-2007, 14:31

If you pm me your e-mail I'll post you the unrared jpg
