Photoshop settings for printing at poster size?

I am creating something on photoshop that I plan on printing out pretty large. What settings should I use on Adobe photoshop to make it good quality when I print it? Like how many dpi and stuff like that?

The document you're creating in Photoshop should be similar in size to what you want the finished printout to be. You don't want to create a tiny document and then have to greatly enlarge it for printing; that could cause a loss in quality.



In File/New, set the width and height to what your final print is going to be; set the resolution to 300 pixels/inch.



When you print, set the printer to 300 dpi if it has that option or just set the paper type you're using if that's the available option.

HI, print resolution is 300dpi. Thats all really. Just size it in inches as you need it. The printing folks will usually have a color space they want you to use but that is easily changed.



When you are working on it use your navigator palette and "fit on screen option" so you can see what your doing....



hope that helps
