There are two surefire ways to increase the cuteness factor of almost anything random; things that are absurdly small and things that are absurdly big. That’s why baby shoes can make women crawl for hours, and a giant chair can get crowds of people to see ‘art’.

One of the easiest ways to create giant works of art on paper is through a device called a plotter. The plotter, also known as a large format printer, is essentially a giant printer that uses rolls instead of sheets of paper. Using rolls, the plotter has an almost unlimited capacity to create posters, banners, and wrapping paper in quantities that can engulf an entire building.

Plotters are mostly used for boring business purposes. But if this tool were to ever end up in the wrong (or right) hands, it could cause significant damage. Not sure if your particular hands are up to the challenge?

Here are some great ideas to get you started.

1. Create a Wanted poster with a photo of your prankster on it and hang it on a freeway crossing that people who know you regularly pass by. Plotters have the option of using a stronger paper roll, which will make it more durable, though not entirely waterproof.
2. Gift wrapping a building. This one requires a bit of planning, and maybe a friend or two. But a plotter can throw out rolls of a pattern over and over again, at a fairly rapid rate. And what you end up with is a roll of wrapping paper. If you’re willing to get up early enough on your boss’s birthday, you can sneak into work early and wrap up your business for him. Hope you like it, it sure makes you work hard to get it.
3. Create simulated movie posters and hang them in the theater, in front of the real ones. Make them just slightly different. Maybe Dakota Fanning has a snack and maybe she’s not saying anything particularly nice. Maybe Charlie Sheen has a thought bubble, and he’s actually a very polite guy. Do it enough to get people to do a double take.
4. Create something giant, for no reason, in a random place. People will flock to try to understand it. One guy created a giant chair in the middle of a field. I told you that people like giant things.

For those of you who are jokers at heart, a tracer could be a good investment for you. Not only is it set up for the perfect prank props, but you can also turn it into a free pirated copy of any movie poster you don’t feel like spending $ 50 for. Seriously, movie posters cost $ 50. Plotters are becoming more and more prominent in the business world for the same reason, outsourced printing has too high a cost. Life is the same, when outsourcing printing needs like this cost so much, having your own plotters surely seems more desirable.
