My friends, I have discovered a CHEAP way to print our posters in COLOR!!!! Staples offers a colored engineering print and it works beautifully for those anchor charts, clip art pieces, and just about anything else that you want to print "ginormous"!!! I am currently working on a "Teachers are Superstars" bulletin board at school and needed my melonheadz "stars" to be quite large. So...I was browsing Staples to see if it might be possible for me to afford to have it printed on an 11 x 17 page. Once I got to their site I browsed around and discovered that they now offer the color engineering print!!! SCORE!!! Take a peek at my "star" I had printed. I hung it on my fridge so that you guys can get a good idea of how large it is.
Fabulous, Right???? Here is the best part... I had 2 printed in this size and my final cost with tax...$12.53!!!! Whoop! Whoop!
How did I do it? Easy peasy...uploaded the file to Staples print center and they had it ready for pick up within 2 hours.

Way cool! Still a bit pricy for me unless it's something I'm going to use over in coming years or keep it up all year. I'm going to pin this because I will never remember the steps. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing discovery!
