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.

It depends on the size of print that you would like to end up with but as a rule of thumb 300 dpi at the size that you are wanting is always good.

Tests have shown that images can be printed at much larger sizes, depending on the image type and screen ruling used. On composite inkjet devices, customers regularly reproduce our images on posters at A0 sizes and larger. However, you need to check the technical specification of your printer and the size of image purchased before proceeding.

Digital printing is the process in which printed output is generated on demand by an output device. Large format printing generally refers to output larger than tabloid sizes, or about 11x17. At SOS-Station, large format usual means 22x28 inches to billboard sizes.

I'm taking a class in HTML right now, and the teacher says that FrontPage is one of the worst editors. I haven't thought it was that great either. That's why I'm now learning the basic HTML stuff. No, you don't have to use FrontPage. You can actually use any HTML editor you want. We use HomeSite by Macromedia, but you can feel free to use any HTML editor.

You should make sure that images being printed on apparel are at least 120 DPI. Since the area over which the image will be printed is 11" x 11", each image—or composite of images—should equal 1320 pixels square (120dpi x 11") to provide the optimum results. In other words, if four separate images are being printed, each side of each 5.5" x 5.5" image should be 660 pixels wide.

Large format digital printing can be used whenever traditional printing techniques is cost prohibitive because of quantity or unnecesary quality. Some applications are posters, displays, signage, point-of-purchase displays, banners, fleet graphics, murals, billboards, wallpaper...etc.

No. Many students choose to be creative with poster boards and construction paper instead of computer printing. Just make sure you follow the poster guidelines, include all the necessary sections, and ensure that your poster is legible from a distance of 4-6 feet away.

This is imaging output on our ENCAD NovaJet 700 Inkjet printer. This printer produces images up to 5 feet wide and as long as you may require.

For photographic and fine art editions, our ideal file format is a flattened RGB tiff. We also accept jpegs, PDFs, and native Adobe PhotoShop formats. Optimum image resolution is 300-360 dpi at the final size to be printed. Resolution below 150 dpi may show pixilation. Display and design files can be submitted in most popular design programs, such as InDesign, Illustrator, or Quark. Please accompany design files with image links and fonts (or outlined fonts).

JPEG RGB PC files. Normally files straight from your camera are fine. If your files are saved as anything other than JPEG and we cannot read them there is a conversion fee.

Yes. From a 20 foot high by 10 foot wide mesh digital banner for a real estate advertisement, to a 3 foot high by 5 foot wide digital vinyl banner for a school event, we do all types of color digital banners. We also specialize in Hi Resolution printing for Museums, Corporate Events, Tradeshows, and other Promotional and Advertising Events.

prints it's books and posters at 600dpi. You should upload the highest resolution images you have for the best results. Some confusion occurs because we often use DPI for resolution as well. Printer Resolution is measured in DPI (dots per inch) and is the number of actual dots of ink put down on paper per inch.

least 2 megapixels minimum. 3mp is preferred. That means dimensions of 1000 x 2000 pixels at least but we would like to see higher.

You'll need to convert them into JPG or GIF format. There are many shareware programs out on the Internet that will allow you to do this. Try Tucows or Download.com for some selections. Back to Top

Preferably JPEG or GIF due to the image sizes, though we can convert most other formats (such as Bitmap or TIFF) as necessary.

If you have your pictures in digital format, then please send them at 72dpi and as jpg/jpeg images. If you only have paper copies of photographs, or your business card for your logo, we can scan the images.

My standard file format is JPG in full resolution (10.2 mega pixels). The recommended printing sizes vary picture by picture, but I have seen very nice poster size enlargements from my pictures.

The default size from most professional digital cameras give optimal results for most jobs. If you are working with scanned artwork, 300 DPI at size is sufficient for most jobs; for work larger then 10x10 150 to 180 is sufficient. If you receive CD's from shore for scanned negatives they are at a appropriate size for almost every job printed here. Yes, Please save all your files with "Adobe98", "sRGB" or "ColorMatch RGB" color space.

Large format paper options are: Heavy Weight paper, High-Gloss paper, Semi-Gloss paper, Tyvek and Vinyl. There are many other papers available that are used for projects. Swatches are available to view at our reception counter. Lamination is also available up to a 4x8 foot size. Our pricing information is available here

We can print Black & White and the four process colors used in offset printing (Cyan [C], Magenta [M], Yellow [Y]and Black [K]). When these four colors are printed with halftone screens of various angles in this subtractive print method, they create oranges, reds, violets, and so on.

The optimum resolution for large format printing is 150 dpi at the final printed size. If the digital picture is between 72 and 150 dpi at the final printed size and has good quality colour and contrast then it should be fine.

You can provide a disk that will be used in a computer-to-plate process. If you wish to control the process, you may work through the proofing process and provide a contract proof and a disk ready to rip and make plates. (Due to variations in the digital proofing process, we will need to make a proof calibrated to our printing process to compare with the proof provided. Additional system work may be required to assure the printed product will match your contract proof.

Format: jpg, jpeg and gifs are accepted. Sometimes a file has a .jpg or other acceptable extention but is mislabeled and is not truely in an acceptable format. In such cases the image may not upload properly. Resolution: A resolution returned with a 50k file size is more than adequate. Files of more than 250k in file size do not upload automatically. These resoultions are significantly lower than a printed work, but look just as good as higher resolution images on a monitor and load faster.

We prefer to receive photographic images as either tiff or eps, however we can work with jpeg as long as the resolution is at 300 dpi or better.

No, we will resize or crop your image for free - and have a chat, to give you a good idea of how big your image will print to cleanly.

To ensure that your pictures come out as crisp and clear as you see them on your monitor, we highly recommend that you save all your .tiffs at 300 dpi. Note: Do not expand, blow up or re-image a low resolution image to 300 DPI. (This process does not enhance the actual picture it just creates a larger file size.) Sometimes you can bypass this rule if you have a large ( ie. 8" x 11") low resolution picture (72 DPI) and you want to reduce its size to (1 x 1.
