I need your help as this is the first time I'm printing this big.

I have a file from the 5D, cropped a bit and currently is 3814x2543 roughly 15.5x10.5 inches at 240dpi, according to PS4 image size info.

I want to print this on canvas at 30x20. Do I upsize it to 30"x20" via Photoshop or just leave it as is and have the shop print it. I'm using Canvasondemand.com btw.

If I'm up res'ing, do I change the DPI to 200 or leave it at 240? What DPI is ok for canvas?

Thanks

150 should be fine for canvas. But you shouldn't really be asking the world at large - why not ask the printers these questions?

Hahha.. American Lager on me if you happen to come across the pond :)

To update on this, I up-res'ed using Genuine Fractal to 30"x20" at 150 DPI as per recommendation.

The print arrived last night and it looks great. The color production is really accurate as well. I ordered the thin frame Canvas.

btw, this is the pic that I printed.
