RE: How big is too big?

And that was it, photographs of detailed engineering components with lots of fine level details.  As well as engineering drawings and schematics ect.  So I guess I wasn't too far off for having almost no idea what I was really doing. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsub

RE: How big is too big?

With a lot of photographs, that would be almost right, in my experience the 1200dpi was unnecessary. Half that would have gotten you a fine poster. :D Cheers, Erika -- >>| From: Ian Skinner >>| >>| Sounds about what I was asked to do, if I remembe

RE: How big is too big?

Sounds about what I was asked to do, if I remember correctly.  I was asked to provide a 8 1/2 by 11 original at 1200 dpi, so that it could be scaled up to 36 by 60.  It was a combination of logos, photographs and text describing our current rocket engines (this was when I worked for Aerojet).  If m

RE: How big is too big?

A. But you see, depending on the artwork, there is no need to make a 36 x 60 inch file. You start with something around 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 17 and figure out what percentage up is needed to create your 36 x 60 inch poster. 9 times out of ten, NO ONE is going to have taken a 36 x 60 inch image -

RE: How big is too big?

Of course if the print is going to be a 36 inch by 60 inch poster board for display at a convention, even at 266dpi you have a very large file to pass around.  I had to do this once in a previous job and I am NOT a print guy, good or otherwise. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription]

RE: How big is too big?

Bulldinkies I say. I used to do 4-color process design full time. Still do sometimes. (always good to do freelance work for a printer ;) ) A typical 4-color press can only print at 133 lpi (lines per inch) which is 266 dpi. Your color-desk-jets even less. If you send out to a high res color house

Re: How big is too big?

Thanks for the answers. I've been trying to get a handle on the "corporate knowledge base" here at my company. We have a very diverse staff (we publish 9 weekly papers, 6 quarterly papers, and about 300 books), and the answers they brought to a similar list of questions were widely divergent. Fo
