Is this possible?
If it is, let me know. It will be worth your while

What are you scanning?
Problem will be sizing it up to A1 -- 594 x 841 mm the picture will pixelate badly if its a standard A4 scanner, you can increase the DPI in photoshop
but the file size will be very large

Is it a single colour logo if so best to scan that in and open it with Adobe Illustrator and redraw it, then it will resize to any size you want and still
have smooth edges

Hope this helps

We've a scanner here we use for design drawings. scans up to A0. converts to pdf by default, but think i can get it to do tiff as well?
only scans in black and white tho...

You can manipulate just about any size image you like in photoshop... as long as you have the ram to cope. Scan/aquire the image in the highest resolution you can to start with as this will ensure good final print quality.
