The in-game screenshot command allows for taking high quality screenshots of large areas, unfortunately it's a hassle to use. The mods I've found make it better, but not really plug-and-play.

This mod ads a new item that allows the player to select an area (like with blueprints) and then takes a screenshot of that area. Using the alternative selection mode (shift) will makes the "alt-info" visible in the screenshot. The results are stored in "%factorio_dir%/script-output/Screenshot-camera". Other settings are currently accessed through config.lua, moved the settings menu as of 0.4.0.

Using the default settings (zoom=1 no AA) the resolution is limited to 16384 pixels in either direction (512 tiles) and this limit is imposed by Factorio.
See the Factorio API for more info on how the screenshot command works.
