use this to super size your pics and print them.
once you upload and sort out the size etc, it produces a pdf for you to print off and arrange on the wall.
would be good for exhibitions etc

Yep. Did a high contrast B+W one of the Falkirk wheel recently. As a quick try just on normal A4 plain paper it looks great when pinned out. A good tool.

What kind of printer have you got?

Epson are the best for cheap catridges (clones, not authentic (like theres a difference))

Tesco Epson clones are pretty good and fairly cheap. My printer's quite old but the newer ones are even cheaper.
