Large Format Printing in Photoshop

[Michael_T._Henderson@adobeforums.com]

Is it Possible to print in large format (24"X36") in Photoshop 7.0 or earlier?

At what resolution? Are you talking about a printer device (which one?); offset litho?; etc. How is this image going to be used?

Good discussion and need further advice:

A 24" x 36" file could be hundreds of megs. large. What is the proper way to submit the work for a layout this big? (All work to a large format ink-jet printer)

>) What is the proper way to submit the work for a layout this big?

Do the files have any vector/font information?
Does the what model printer have a RIP, what brand RIP, software?

170ppi should be more than enough for a print this size.

Jason,

Maybe. It still depends upon how the image is to be reproduced, how it will be used, and from what distance it will be seen.
