This freeware program, The Rasterbator, will take any image you want, and split it up into the number of component images required to print an image as large as you want, up to 20 meters (60 feet) in size. You tell it what size paper to print each part of the image on, and it will also provide a light outline on each page to allow you to cut the margins off so you have what appears to be a giant photo.
In some of the images below, you will see some images compiled of printed sheets without the margins cut off.

It is an online service:

But you can also download a freestanding program:

Here are some examples (from several thousand in the online photo gallery at that site:

Alrighty then...over the next few weeks the Army should post their newest creations. I've got some areas in my house that are going to get some CVH/DLR treatment.

Thanks for the post and the great links, Hardrock69.

I'd love to give this a go - make a small one in black and white, using a laser printer... Now all I need is a laser printer.... :)

Ha...right on.

I still have not gotten around to doing anything with it, but then, I have limited wall space, and it is all full right now.
