colour photocopying

[Charlton]

anyone on here able to scan and copy a colour picture painted by my grandson. Contacted and been to a few places most haven't got scanners big enough and those that have are asking quite a bit to do the job. Picture is just bigger than A3 which is where the problem lies, also it is very colourful. Would want three copies done.

Try taking a photo of it , then get it printed on a4 paper ?
Cameras are great now and it should give you the same result
It's a option , good luck

Take ya camera card into boots and stick it in the self service machine , ya can crop rotate and change colours before printing and its canny cheap

I've got photoshop to do the editing etc in, just getting the colours right for my A3 printer is proving a problem you get a few correct then adjust RGB to get another right and the rest go off, mind my A3 printer is quite old, prob have something to do with it

 

[Philysafc]

There's a few good printing shops around , I would get it done properly as It means a lot and is not worth doing a bodge job , it'll look canny on a tshirt
Good look mate
