I've never printed

[chauncey]

I made my decision never to print until I had a few images that I was satisfied with, we are at that point.

Is there ever a reason to save at more than 300 dpi?

For "objects d'art" what are the upper end printing methods and mediums?

Have a read of my printing and enlargement FAQ, then come back and ask the question you really want the answer to :)

Small images should be fine between 240pixels per inch (not dpi) and 300ppi. Larger images can take a drop in resolution because you view the images from further away therefore you do not need the high resolution a 6x4 or an 8x10 requires.

I'm back with virtually the same questions;

Regardless of types of inks, is there ever a need for going higher than 300dpi?

What are the really upper end printing cloth, canvas, paper or whatever?

No, I can't think of any reasons.

What are the really upper end printing cloth, canvas, paper or whatever?

I have only printed canvas, at 150ppi.

Commercial printers usually ask for 300ppi or 250ppi, less for canvas. High end inkjet printers can do 1000+dpi, but i'm not sure how ppi translates to dpi.

The answer, really, is "try it and see", then report back what you find :)

What is dye sub and when is it used?

[tim]

It's a printing technology, wikipedia will tell you about it.

Chauncey....try something :)

[chauncey]

That's what I'm asking, try what

Are you printing them yourself or sending them out for printing at a lab? Both the labs I use want 300dpi. At home it doesn't matter for me because they would just go on typing paper and suck my ink tanks dry. I don't do that....

I recently purchased a Canon Pro 9000. I love the output. Had to do some studying of color management. For that 300 dpi is good.....
I print on Canon Photo Print Plus paper. I have also used Ilford with good results. The 13 x 19 prints I have done have been spectacular. :)

[chauncey]

Will be sending them out for high end printing, whatever that is.

There are certainly several good outfits online for printing. Right now I'm partial to White House Color. They are a bit higher priced but do an excellent job with a wide variety of options available. They do require a minimum order ($12) and orders include shipping to you which has been quick for my uses.
