Is there a good way to blow up jpg images and print them out so you can put them on a protest sign? Michael

Chip's method. Another is the quasi commercial route or Warhol method. Pick a black and white image with strong contrast, process in photostop or scanner software, maybe use Threshold for pure b&w, add block font for message, ``fuck off now'' then take it to a silkscreen or sign place on a disk. They can blow it up to as large as whatever their biggest silkscreen press and run off thousands.

You need clean edges and a block-like image (Warhol's Marilyn) to stand up to being enlarged and reproduced.
