Here's some PDF files you can send to your local kinkos and print on color sheets for a couple o' bucks a page (something like 9 pages per sign). Then paste on 20" x 30" cardboard sheets.

Well, I went down to the Bellevue WA Kinko's & made a 24"x36" copy of "NOW inspections are working". It was $2.00 for a single copy on the large-format copier, but it was black & white only. I had to re-do the "NOW" in white with a thin outline, then I filled in the red with magic marker. They quoted color copies at several $$$/sq. ft., which at 2'x3' (6 sq. ft.) would be pricey, plus it was a 1-day turnaround.

I got a 3-pack of 30"x40" foam core at Office Depot for $13.00, and a couple rolls of plain transparent contact paper at Home Depot for $13.00. (I only needed one, and these will last us through several campaigns.)

The result looks great! I'll be making up a couple "Dictators (love) Appeasers" tomorrow, probably in 16x20, and filling in the heart by hand.

Here are the B&W templates, if anyone's interested:

I bought the foam core and split it in half for two 30x20 signs.
Then I used the poster printer software to expand the picture to 20x30, then divided it up into 8.5x11 sheets and then printed it either to an acrobat file (some of which I posted here) or to my deskjet printer. (sure gave it a workout)
Then I used some spray-on elmers glue to paste the mosaic to the foam core. Worked great.

You will find that the kinkos prices vary by region and from store to store. They wanted 50 bucks for a color poster here. $100.00 if I wanted both sides!

Here's another idea I had. What do y'all think, should I make it up into a poster too?
