Hanzi Wall/Poster Chart: Where to find?

[Brade]

Hello,

 

I am wanting to print a Hanzi poster/wall chart with all the 1500 most common Chinese characters with pinyin and English definitions underneath. See image attached showing an example, however, this image size is too small to print in a large poster format such as AO.

 

Every place I have found who sells these seems to no longer be in business!

 

Does anyone know of where I can find/purchase a file which I can then take to a print shop?

 

Many thanks,

 

Chris

I found this 2000 characters printed onto 2 posters https://store.mandarinposter.com/shop/the-first-1000-chinese-characters#more-info

Thanks for this Amy, I will contact them to see. I wonder if they sell the actual file, b/c being based in China I don't want to have to buy the actual printed version and have it posted lol.

Actually Amy, I just realized that I contacted this company back in March 2021 and they still haven't replied to me  Let's see if they do this time. if you also have any other avenues I may be able to explore please let me know.

 

Thanks again.

Unfortunately, I think that's the only one I could find online. I guess printing in China might be cheap, I'm not sure but you might want to check first? Because if I were to print them that size in the UK it would probably ended up costing me almost the same amount.

Why not scan with an OCR then convert to .pdf file with scalable fonts. Should be able to print it at any size.

That takes a lot more skill than most people have.

According to the website @mungouk has quoted, they send you a zip file once you purchase for you to download and print.

Sadly not, see email from them sent yesterday. 

 

It's amazing how difficult this has been to source. I will keep searching.

 

@vellocet thanks for your idea but what exactly should I scan? The low res jpeg? And the OCR from where, my phone? Thanks
