I'm trying to write a web application that will generate name tags from a 
list of names. The problem is that the name tags have to be fairly large 
and I'm running into what appears to be a limit on how big I can print 
things in html. Is there a way around this? 

I've taken a look at several ASP components that let you write out text as 
images (along with a bunch of other functions) and that would solve the 
problem; is this a fairly simple thing to do? I'd rather write the 
component myself, but I don't know how to get started (I have zero 
experience with graphics). 

Thanks in advance for any pointers you guys have.

How "big" is big?
