Is Monday the 13th as unlucky as Friday the 13th. It felt like it to me after having to reprint a couple of jobs. Or is that just me being stupid.

I have been in the printing trade for more than 20 years now and have seen a lot of changes. And back in 2001 I went to work for Debenhams to work in their Pre-Press department. In that department we use to prep up files for Litho, Digital and Large Format Printing.

While I was there, Debenhams had 20 Encad 50 Inch Printers. These were used to supply the 100+ stores with all there Pos posters. It was incredible the amount of work that we use to through all these large format printers and it was incredible about the amount of issues we came across with the Large format Printers. (I am lead to believe that now only have one large format printer that produces all the work. While I was there i under took an ICC colour Management course which solved a lot of colour issues that we had.

After leaving Debenhams in 2004 I started up my own Large format Printing business with an Epson 9600. It did everything I need it to do. Then in 2007 I took over Scriveners Reprographics. Because there were some big changes in the print trade which would effect Scriveners I decided to make the main part of the business being Large Format Printing. After selling Epson Printers on ebay I decided to Buy two Canon IPFs 12 colour printers. to this day they still see me proud.

But what now. As I am looking and buying another Large Format printer in the next 12 months and there is so much to choose from and what they can now do amazes me. Here are some examples.

The Epson GS60000
A 64 inch Solvent Printer. I have heard some good reports and bad reports.

Canon imagePrograf IPF9000
I do like my Canon printer as it produces very nice fine art images and photo prints. But I prefer to widen my services and keep the old printers for now.

Mimaki
This printer gives you the option of white and metallic inks. Sound good, but is it? will I used the extra inks that much?

Oce Arizona
Now this is a flat bed large format printer. Ok I like this and Océ is part of the canon Group. How I would like this to be my next step but my pockets are not deep enough.

There are so many Large Format Printers  inc HP who uses latex inks.

Then I came across Direct Jet printer that was on the Russel Brown Show It is a bit small for me but its interesting.

I will be looking deeper into a lot of large format printers over the next few months and will keep you up to date with my findings.  Cheers Jake

High resolution images are required for printing, but how high depends on the viewing distance.

But first you need to understand What DPI, PPI and LPI means. (If you know this Skip to resizing images)

DPI means Dots Per Inch (DPCM means Dots Per CM)
In application like Photoshop they use the term PPI or PPCM The First P just stands for Pixels.
DPI tends to get used more often than in PPI in conversations about size of photographs. But in general the following should be used.
DPI - Refers to Dots per inch on printers like inkjets or Imagesetters and DTP Systems.
PPI - Simply refers to Pixels per Inch for digital images and Monitors.
LPI - Which refers to the screening of traditional print like magazines. Often written as oftern 175# or refered to as "Screen Rulling"

This is an example of if you were taking an image to Digital Print, Photo Prints and Canvas Prints.
The Image is viewed at 72PPI on Screen - The image resolution should be set to at least 150PPI - The inkjet printer would be printing at least 2400 DPI  - (LPI is not used because no screen ruling is used).

This is an example of if you were taking an image to Traditional Litho Print.
The Image is viewed at 72PPI on Screen - The image resolution should be set to at least 300PPI - The imagesetter or CTP System will be set to at least 2400 DPI  - The screen ruling for the Images on the printing plate will be between 133# to 200# This is defined by the quality of the paper.

Resizing images

First of all you need to know what the  PPI needs to be for you printed product.

For Fine Art Prints and Magazine prints the PPI needs to be about 300 PPI (120 PPCM Aprox)
For Canvas and Photo Prints the PPI needs to be at least 150 PPI (60 PPCM Aprox)
For Large Posters that are being viewed from a few meters or more then you can go as low as 72 PPI (30PPCM Aprox)

Now if you own a copy of Photoshop then you can constrain the width hight and resolution to adjust your image to the correct resolution for print.

If you don't have photo shop but you know the pixel width and hight of the image then use the sum below
Example of an image that is 3000 x 2000 Pixels

(Please not that for PPCM has been rounded of to the nearest 10 to make the calculation simpler)

For Inches (example for canvas prints at 150 PPI)
x PIXELS ÷ y PPI = z Inches
3000 PIXELS ÷ 150 PPI = 20 Inches
2000 PIXELS ÷ 150 PPI = 13.33 Inches

For CM (example for canvas prints at 60PPCM)
x PIXELS ÷ y PPCM = z CM
3000 PIXELS ÷ 60 PPCM = 50 CM
2000 PIXELS ÷ 150 PPCM = 33.33 CM

If your image is two small then there is some software on the market that will grow your image better that Photoshop.
However when growing an image it does not work to well on jpg images that have lost quality due to being compressed to much.
