Pugleyrich 37 1 Cars Posted November 14, 2015 Hello, Does anyone have A3 or larger retro 205 GTI adverts? I know you can buy A3 prints on eBay of the classic adverts but I'm looking to make some into a canvas print. I have looked in the downloads section of PSCUK but can't see any. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pugleyrich 37 1 Cars Posted November 14, 2015 I don't suppose you have any links? Not too worried if they are in French, just want something that looks good. Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pugleyrich 37 1 Cars Posted November 18, 2015 I had a look on there and can't see any old adverts (unless I'm missing something!) Thanks for the link though. Really looking for the rally bred/less bread advert and the wolf in wolfs clothing one. Does anyone have a large PDF or similar for any of these that they could email? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you see all the sales brochures? found these too on net which I hadn't seen before https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=205gti+adverts&view=detailv2&&id=2ED356B78607D342083C077DD50989E1C2D702A1&selectedIndex=0&ccid=fsI4HwPN&simid=607991757286607111&thid=OIP.M7ec2381f03cd051767169fe8deede295o0&ajaxhist=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony 1,000 Posted November 19, 2015 Nowhere near enough resolution on that to print it, certainly not at A3 odd size! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dobboy 231 2 Cars Posted November 19, 2015 Nowhere near enough resolution on that to print it, certainly not at A3 odd size! Can the resolution be increased by doing a screen capture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,000 Posted November 19, 2015 No, you'll need the original high-resolution scanned image. To get enough resolution to print something A3 size you're looking at an image that'll be several times bigger than your desktop monitor. I imagine a canvas will be more forgiving than a glossy print, but either way, you won't get very far with an 600x400 odd image as it'll just be a pixelated mess.

dobboy 231 2 Cars Posted November 19, 2015 Cool. Not sure how it works but I just screen captured it and doubled the size, saved as BMP and it doesn't look too bad.... text is a bit fuzzy right enough. It's too big to upload to TinyPic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pugleyrich 37 1 Cars Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for your efforts. I think I've found everything of use on Google etc and I don't think the resolution will be good enough. I might try to put some of the brochure covers together to make a larger picture. Would be good to know if anyone has any ads with a high resolution or the ability to blow up an ad whilst retaining some quality (using some Photoshop skills perhaps!?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dobboy 231 2 Cars Posted November 20, 2015 Pugley, PM me your email address and i'll send you the one a resized if I can, it looks not too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,528 Posted November 20, 2015 You cannot blow up an image to give a good quality large print if the resolution isn't there in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
