Be sure to find out if they really need 300dpi to print. I suspect they don't. Most printers will print whatever dpi you push them (within reason). It's likely the case that they simply request that as a minimum because, for anything that isn't under a fundamental resolution limitation like a screenshot, anything less will be of noticeably lower quality once printed. In this case, you'll be able to see the actual pixels if the screenshots are printed large enough, but so what? That's the "real" image. And, as mentioned before, you'll actually have their suggested resolution for anything that's printed at 4x3 inches or smaller. > No, why would it?

Don't use any form of resampling when you (if you must) change the dpi, or you'll wind up with a really "high res" image that has blurry edges where they should be crisp. (If there is no "don't resample" option, use "nearest neighbor", which means the same thing.) >> >>> If you *really* wanted to get fancy, run Sugar inside a VNC server >>> of say >>> 12000x9000 pixels at 2000 dpi.
