Re: Perfect Resize - Increasing the resolution of images for print - thoughts?
This list doesn't make a lot of sense, I think. The 'in-eye' density of the pixels/dots varies wildly if you graph it out: I'd say that generally you wanna strive for a PPI density of at leastDPI = 200/(distance in feet) So 1 feet = 200 PPI (phone in hand) 2 feet = 100 PPI (laptop/desktop) 4 feet = 50 PPI (no idea what… -

That image you posted has enough pixels for a much larger print. Much larger. A 300PPI print already has smaller pixels than a human hair. You don't need a 9600PPI image. You need a 300PPI image printed on a 9600DPI printer so you have 1024 color variations. As to what is better? Well, if you're going to print at too high… -
Re: Perfect Resize - Increasing the resolution of images for print - thoughts?
If something is bigger people are looking at it further away. When you read a magazine, you are looking at it from a foot or two away, when you look at a 36x48 image, you are 4-8 ft away. Billboards can be as low as 9 dpi for larger ones and still look good. So the bigger something is, the further away the viewer will be,… -
Re: Perfect Resize - Increasing the resolution of images for print - thoughts?
this is wrong - DPI doesn't work like this. And a colour image is just four black and white images. The DPI you send to the printer is not the DPI the printer prints at. Most printers will use a line screen to convert your pixels into a number of separations (eg channels). The line screens are essentially black and white… -

That printer prints at 600x600PPI, just like the Xerox. But because it has 12 inks it has wider color range in the same area. The Xerox has 8 dots, which means 9 possible values for a color (0%, 11 %, 22% etc.) and 4 colors (cmyk) so it has 9^4 = 6561 colors per pixel (at 600PPI). The Canon Prograf(btw, thanks for not… -
Re: Perfect Resize - Increasing the resolution of images for print - thoughts?
I didn't say anything about how printers print hehe. Actually, most home printers offers a print resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi, that's a insane amount of detail (ppi are different, so it's a marketing number :S), so the bigger the resolution of your image, the better (but it depends of the size!!). A 3000px image looks…
