Posts 637 		A revised closeup page has been released today which provides more information and functionality for customers - in particular the ability to input a print resolution and see print size options.

Thanks to Graham Prentice for his steak ready for a 12 x 8m billboard with artwork prepared at 10 ppi, for viewing from 10 meters or more - used with the link above.

Yes it is a strange world that seems to use a mix of imperial ppi (pixels per inch) and dpi (dots per inch) and metric print sizes. Perhaps we need to add some metric equivalents too.

Comments and possible improvement suggestions welcome from all - especially those who are practising designers as well as photographers.

cheers for now

Posts 637 		Yes, thanks, and agree absolutely of course about pixels and dots being different.

We have tried to focus on PPI for artwork to be accurate (yet these are often commonly referred to imprecisely as DPI), and sometimes artists work in PPC (pixels per cm) to add further complexity.

mychillybin (and all other jpeg) image files have a parameter within them that sets a particular DPI - 300 in our case. This dpi tells Photoshop etc what PPI to open the file at. It does not affect the amount of data stored in the image as this is determined wholly by the pixels present. This 'dpi' value does not affect how large the image will show on a computer screen either, as that is fully determined by pixels - however it does affect the resolution and hence print size of how the image on the screen will print, if not overridden in screen code.

For printing on printers we refer to dpi because digital printers print dots. Printers have much smaller gamuts (colour ranges per individual printed dot) than computer screen colour gamuts per individual pixels, and hence printers need to work at a higher dpi (in which they can print mixed colours to replicate a single larger screen pixel) to achieve similar colour effects to screens.

Think that is how it all works - but pleased for this explanation to be corrected or improved on.

cheers for now
