M5 cutaway/poster question - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

GreekM5 · 17th September 2002, 02:33

Hi guys. I want to make a poster of the M5 in the cutaway. What is the best way to do this? Who makes the best looking posters? Which picture can I use? Does anyone have a high-resolution image I can use? What are the usual specifications the image must be for the poster to come out excellent? Sorry for all of the questions but I'm new to this and want it to be done correctly the first time.

Also, does anyone have the cutaway in titanium silver with the luxury interior and wood trim (my car's specs)? That would be awesome!

Thanks in advance!

There is an M5 cutaway picture on the Internet. Unofortunately it is LMB on LMB with the aluminum trim. I beleive Atomic80 has a high res version. I also am interested in this. If anyone has a high res version could they please let me know. Thanks.

I got a 20 X 30 inch picture from www.ofoto.com. I think it was Jason who uploaded the high-res version there and we were able to order prints. Search under ofoto and see if the old thread comes up.

Wow the old Cutaway poseter question again.

Yes jason did upload a cutaway poster to OFOTO.COM for everyone who wanted one to order. That was the very first version made. AvusBlue, clear taillights and no glass sunroof. That is the one I ordered. (its not perfect yet

)

You can order this one now at ofoto.com from the link above.

Since then there were a few changes / corrections

1.) Le Mans / Le Mans

2.) Le Mans / Silverstone

If u want the CMYK version of these two I have it but... I'm on dial up at the time being and they are ~10MB each! and Jason is kinda in the pacific ocean by Alaska right now so dont think he can post those up... maybe someone who has them can? If not I'll try to get them up for you guys tomorrow or Weds.

UCSDxB0i, what are the exact specifications you have to have for the poster to come out the best quality? Do they have to be CYMK? If so, would you mind sending me those high-res pictures? I want this to come out the best quality as possible.

I am more interested in the Lemans/Lemans picture since it does not have a front liscense plate, unlike the Lemans/Silverstone.

How could you send them to me? If they are 10MB+ each I guess you could e-mail them to me, unless you have somewhere to post them? PM me with how you want to do this, if you don't mind that is. Thanks again!

Umm I am not sure if they even should be in CMYK format I would say probably not cuz ofoto is just printing them as "photos" but in a larger scale. 20" X 30" and no one sends in photos as CMYK format to print. CMYK is used more for press printing. Even the first one that was uploaded to ofoto for order was in RGB format (the one I ordered). As for other specifications not much would have to be done to the file itself since jason has pretty much done everything already. The LeMans LeMans w/out front plate file is in RGB format. Jason sent it to me as a RGB format. So I'm just going to leave it as is. I will have it up tomorrow by noon for you to download, hows that?

Its 5.7MB in RGB format. the other one is 10MB in CMYK format.
