From A Printers Point Of View

Excellent post! And welcome to AP.

Thanks for the overview, very handy. Just interested in what you do on the printing side, a bit of background about yourself? You certainly know your subject

I have a question, when I pull the pictures of my 5D and look at the DPI get 72? on all sizes.

I am at a lose to this.

Am I doing something wrong, or have something set wrong?

Thanks Toe - very informative tute.

The issue of resolution (screen vs print) is one of those that causes the greatest confusion. One question - How can we compare compact Digital Cameras to dSLR's. I thought that dSLR's gave better image quality than (most) compacts at equivalent resolutions.

Perhaps this means that somebody with a dSLR could get away with printing at say150 dpi, whether an equivalent megapixel compact would need to print at 250 dpi to get the same "print quality".

Cheers

I've read some info on the relationship between sensors, not the number of pixels, but the size of each photosite on the sensor.

It has something to do with CoC circle of confusion ...

Was only mildly interested on the topic, as I don't do any printing(well one or two for fun).

But, if I can see some interesting results from my shots... I'll look into it more and more, and maybe even get an canvas print made up of something I find remotely interesting

I'll look for the info I found earlier.
