i need to do some large format printing, can anyone tell me some good software i can use to do this. indesign is good, but i was wondering what other programs are out there. poster works does a good job, but it only can print from eps. quark can't go over 30 feet or something. thanks for the help. oops.

Check out Adobe Illustrator. It will automatically tile your document into as many pages as necessary to print. It also supports very large documents. I'm not sure what the max is, but I've never encountered it. Illustrator can import TIFF, EPS and native Photoshop files.

BTW The max spread size for Quark is 40 inches.

ya 40 inches and then can be enlarged 300 percent or something, not big enought for me. i actually used illustrator last year for a 30 foot by 10 foot booth. it did a good job, but right now poster works seems like it will be the program that will do the job. i want more precise tiling and overlap management.
