Marquee Printing
wee beastie:
Hey guys. I made a marque image in Paint Shop Pro, and when I save it as a jpeg it's about 850 to 900K big. The image is about 5600 by 1600 pixels. This seems to be a pretty small file given the pixel size of the image. Will it print out OK?
If I save it as a paint shop pro file, it's about 28 Megabytes, but it's the same image. Is there a difference in quality between the two (the jpeg vs the paint shop pro image)? If so, what is the best format to save in so a printer can get maximum quality from the image?
TIA

Got a cd burner?
I wouldnt print .jpg format.
Its low quility :(.
Best format would be either Paintshop or Photoshop.
Looks pretty good last time I printed.
Wanna see how it looks? ;D
You should print your marque on backlit paper too.

snake,
Where did you get you marquee printed? What DPI setings did you use?
Kinkos advertises that they can do 600 dpi. If I save the file as a jpeg at 600 dpi, the file size jumps to about 150 Megabytes. Do you know if they can handle a file that big? I have a CD burner, so getting it to them should not be a problem.

I printed mine at 600dpi and my actual image size was around 400mb but when kinkos opend my file it was like over 1gb but they printed mine without any problem.
Question is can your computer handle very big stuff?you know running low on memory.My own computer couldnt open my marque file due to low memory so i did the marque on my brother's computer.
I would still say DONT print .jpg.
Bring the photoshop or paintsho format and you be allright. :)

sounds good. Thanks.
One more question. What type of paper did you print on?
