Once you get outside of apparel art, they may branch into other programs to do other things. Well, almost.įor example, Screen printer artist who have only worked in the apparel industry, would never use nor know of Indesign.It's not in our toolbox as it pertains to apparel art. ![]() Since there may be as many printers out there doing what I'm doing as there are photographers and designers. But it much of the feedback seemed only towards pixel depth and that resolution didn't matter. True, and I understand that most designers and photographers out there are more familiar with what they do in their world. This then represents that color tone (more accurately) and raster type looks like it should and you don't see the jaggies. This translates into a better reproduction of film exposure on the screen mesh stencil, easier washout, and a more accurate image reproduction of a dot onto the shirt. The 600 is far cleaner, smoother, with smaller pixels. Compare extreme examples of 72ppi (web) solid type and 600ppi solid type. When it is solid, you see the stair stepped pixel of the resolution. With Antialiasing turned off on type, it is created using the individual pixels. Most of you know, as you type out a letter S, This should look solid, not fuzzy or antialiased. Yes, It's typical (in offset), that most work with will be 300ppi. You will want a very high file resolution but no higher than your printer will print at. Your "type" will be blurred, your paint brush inking will be fuzzy, and you will not get a good clean color separation from a file like that. We might get caught up in the PPI to LPI to DPI discussion, but when you have solid line art painted brush inkings or type with solid edges, The solid art (in addition to that airbrush, Photo illustrated look, you will get horrible image quality results once it is ripped to halftone. This RIP converts the Digital pixel file into halftones, unlike digital printers to paper. Add to that, once a color separation of your raster file is printed to film or a DTS (Direct to Screen) printer, it must be RIPped. There are of course other “magic numbers” from other historical computer and digital imaging sources that are often repeated and enforced with the fervent of religious mantra: 72 ppi, 96 ppi, 240 ppi, 360 ppi etc.įor those of us that use Photoshop raster files for other methods, we may see things from a different perspective. Having the file at 300 ppi rather than 225 ppi simply allows for a little bit of leeway. It depends on image content though, quite acceptable results could be gained with a 225 ppi (x1.5) file when used for a 150 lpi halftone screen. A 150 lpi (lines per inch) halftone screen was quite common, so 2 x 150 lpi = 300 ppi. A good rule of thumb was always to use a source PPI value at final print size that was roughly x1.5-2 times the value of the halftone screen being used for printing. It doesn't have to be 300, there's nothing special about that number.įor those that are wondering why “300 ppi” is often requested… It is due to historical practices in file prep for offset/lithographic printing. To get a good print, a certain pixel density is recommended. does he need to re-crop etc all of them ? Please help, there are a loooot of images, and. When I right click on one of them, at Details tab I see: 3602x4760 dimension and only 240 resolution. They say they need to redimension the images, as the images don`t have 300 dpi. My printer got broken few days back and asked one of my friends to print my images. Bridge automatically saves images into PDFs and sends them to the printer, after I chose the image size according to the dimensions of my canvas. ![]() ![]() I then make small retouches and save the file as JPEG image, using CTRL S command.Īfter editing all the images, I open Adobe Bridge and print my images from there. These are the steps I use for editing the images I then print on my Epson 400 printer, on canvas.Īfter I chose the images I need, I open them and crop them at 305/403 mm, the resolution setting is 300 dpi, it appears right next to the Height/Width. ![]()
