What resolution do my images need to be for large format printing?

Dunn Blue Reprographics - Large Format Color FAQ
A minimum of 100 ppi (pixels per inch) at the final output size is suggested. (An example would be: 6"x6" original to be output 20"x20". 20 divided by 6 = 3.3. So you are enlarging your image 4 times. 4x100ppi = 400 ppi. You should scan your original at 400 ppi, when your image is enlarged 4 times the resolution goes down 4 times, resulting in a 20x20 at 100 ppi.) Vector based graphics & text (Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, QuarkXPress) are scaleable to any size.

Third party ink manufacturers rarely develop the right chemical composition for trouble-free printing.
