Right, I need a poster printed on A0 size paper, but the tricky bit is that it needs to be perfectly to scale.
It's a vector image of paper sizes, so I need for example the A1 on the poster to be a perfect match to a real piece of A1 paper. It's to help me when visualising stuff (and I think it will look pretty cool on my wall).

Anyone know of a UK printer that can do this?
EDIT: Sorry, my reading comprehension totally fails. What you're asking for is pretty basic I think, I bet Southampton University print shop ( http://www.soton.ac.uk/bcs/printcentre/index.html ) would be able to do what you wanted at a fairly reasonable price.

Using Photoshop or Illustrator you could fairly simply set up an A0 sheet (or at least its printable area), then draw boxes the appropriate sizes for A1, etc ... (you just need to find the width & height measurements yourself and then mark it up).
EDIT: Being American I'm unfamiliar with A1 and A0 paper sizes. Is A0 some especially large format?
Twice the size of A1, which in turn is twice the size of A2, which in turn is twice the size of A3 and so on and so forth.
huh ... so that's an 841mm/31inch plotter you'll need.
Nobody makes printers that print single sheets that large. They make plotters, which feed paper off a roll ... you print up to whatever length you need and then run a razor across to chop off the unused paper.
Are you at University (or do you work for a university)? Many colleges and universities have printers that size either in a print lab or graphics design lab that students, faculty, and staff can use if they ask very very nicely. Also, print shops will probably be able to print posters for you for a (usually unreasonable) fee.
Argh, it hurts my brain so much. It also wants to make me make an entire office to scale so I can run aorund like a midget and jump on the keyboard keys to type.

Lock away mod-types. Unless people really want to talk about paper sizes and plotters, which I doubt.
jesus christ (look at the monitor for scale)
That is brilliant. It's a 13-FOOT LONG DESKJET!

Good start to the day. Pity it's going to be the worst one of your life. The light is now on.
