    Darren another point to consider is asking your print lab what resolution they want. Sounds silly I know but there is some top end printing machinery that has preferred steps in resolution. There is one brand that prefers 320PPI rather than 300PPI.

    Absolutely .. Ive just had a read of the requirements that the place above that Andrew has recommended, and they ask that you set your output to 200ppi, and then resample the image for the desired print size. Sounds simple enough .. I think.

    They might be worth a phone call mate, the 200PPI they state is the minimum to give a good upload speed with a reasonable quality. If you're sending by CD/DVD they may give you better quality at higher PPI, or they may even resample with their own software during the process.

    200 does seem a little low to me .. the standard is usually around 240-300 I think.

    I think that 200 is a comprimise on upload speed/quality .. Andrews 30x20 of his boat came out great and he submitted that image at 300 from a 10MP D200 file ..

    I will definitely call them before placing any significant orders though.
