    I see you all have mostly been causing no trouble while I've been AWOL. Remodeling going on here. The new pantry is almost built. Shelves got painted today and a second coat tomorrow. Then Monday, the builder will cut and install them. I will be so glad to get all the boxed food out of the guest bedroom. My folding table is in there holding many of the boxes. Just need the baseboards installed and I can move it back to the laundry-room when it gets cleared. I have [STRIKE]crap[/STRIKE] em, stuff everywhere. :rotfl:
    Overprepare, then go with the flow.

    OK so a bit of money saving. I saw a large print of vegetables (what else) I loved in a gallery but it was £495 - no I did not forget the dot.

    Insert several shreekybluefaces.

    However I have done some detective work and am struggling between ordering an A3 poster of it (10.99 + frame from the swedish shop). Or a digital download of it (£6.78 image + printing) and getting it blown up to a nice big size for the kitchen.

    Anyone know much about DPI's etc and how big something can be printed and still look good.

    4800 by 6000
    300DPI
    Bit depth 24

    Thanks clever people. Money saving meets vegetable art. Love it.

    :)

    Pips - OH is 'in the print'- question is right up his alley!

    If you want clarity & providing the A3 is pre-printed litho (not digital) that would be his choice.

    The other option is more than twice the size of the A3 and requires a large format digital printer, but are not always successful and can be grainy/blurry.

    Hope that makes sense - if not drop a line on the book of face & OH will explain to you more!
