  What print resolution for banners?

  Posted by Peter Normington on 28 April 2007 at 08:02

  Can anyone advise me on this please?
  I will be printing some banners, about 6m x 1.2m
  what resolution and size should the artwork be done at?

  There will be some smallish text (a menu) occupying about a metre, but the rest will be a vector logos and flood print.

  Thanks

  Peter

  Hi Peter,

  I generate the image full size in coral or photoshop, then from coral export as either a tiff or eps. The file size is normally anything from 72dpi to 200dpi. If it’s an eps I try and keep the file as small as possible when text and photos are in the same job or otherwise the file ends up huge when it’s ripped.
