When I published FirstTime Dad magazine, we always supplied 300 dpi files in Quark. What the printer did with them, that I can't say, but everything was required to be 300 dpi.

When you are going to rasterize a digital image you want to sample one with a resolution of at least 2x the final resolution. So, for a 150 line screen, you start with a 300 dpi original. QUARK!! ![]()

Old timers know the difference, todays generation rarely use PPI as a term. Because a computer generates images in pixels, a grid and printers lay down dots of varying size to trick our eye into seeing shades the image resolution becomes and issue. 4/c plates run lines at different angles to try and get a nice roseate. When the grid is overlaid by the line we find that some pixels fall on a portion of the dot and either need to be included or dropped. When the PPI is too low, the grid too large, a lot more pixels get included giving us that pixelated, square edged look. So we need twice the PPI for the intended line screen so we have enough pixels to lose without affecting the image quality.

This is an awesome thread. From a simple question to manhood to panties back to manhood to doodling to printing, back to manhood, friendship back to manhood, printing, killing people in Nam, typing speed back to manhood, pixels.... (did I miss anything?)
And I said it would die... Testosterone is such a beautiful chemical. Shaun did you print Whipped magazine also? ![]()

I met the daughter of the Quark founder once, years ago. Smoking hot, incredibly rich, sort of a jerk.
