Print size: Width = 2 Meters Height = 3 Meters Anybody knows a good resolution in Pixels to make that print with good quality?? TIA.. Post by Jack Edwards // Apr 14, 2007, 1:04pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Depends on the material you are printing on. Canvas for example doesn't use as high a resolution as glossy poster paper. In general 300 dpi is the usual goal for print work so: Given: 1 meter = 39.37 inches 3 x 39.37 x 300 = 35433 pixels 2 x 39.37 x 300 = 23622 pixels so that would be: 23622 width x 35433 height best of luck! :D -Jack.

Post by pixelpantscher // Apr 14, 2007, 2:32pm pixelpantscher Total Posts: 39 Hi Prodigy, it depends mainly which typ of printing you want. Jack Edwards calculation is absolutely right if you want to go for an offset print with a 150 lpi raster in cmyk (here you need 300 dpi). If it is a printout with a bigsize inkjet printer you can get the required result with 150dpi = 17865 x 11910 pix. But here you have the possibility to handover the job of magnification to the RIP on the printer (here you need EPS file) then you can go for a quarter of the boardsize. Means 1.5 m x 1m at 150dpi = 8858.25 x 5905.5 pix. If you want to go for a screenprint (like a billboard) you can calculate a raster of 60lpi. that means you need a caculatory resoltion of 120dpi. Best you ask the man who has to print the job which resolution he requires ;)
