FC informed me that the dot size options were very limited on the web based rasterbator. Because of this, I highly suggest that you download the program.
Anyway, on the first one, we used a max dot size of 7mm. On the second two, we used a max dot size of 3mm. Basically, as far as I understand it, the larger/better quality your source image the smaller you can make the dots. The whole point of the process is to use the effect of lots of tiny dots to hide any disfigurements that would normally be caused by making a small image big. If you make the dots too small on a shitty picture, these blemishes will show anyway...kinda defeating the purpose.
Anyway...if you find a nice starting picture, I suggest 3mm.
Also, if you find a way to get color prints, I suggest doing that...because our color Jack Sparrow looked incredible on the computer; however, Kinko's wanted .89/page for color.
