Canon 50D and A2 printing help pls.

[RJL2005]

Could do with a bit of advice. I've had some interest in my macro abstacts recently However A2 prints have been requested. Using my 50D would give a resolution of only 203ppi. Is this enough or should I try to resample the image and is Elements 7 up to a resizing job?

Thanks

if you are sending the file off to get printed then the company will take car of things, if you are doing it yourself then 203 is enough

You don't view A2 prints as close as you would a 6x4, so you can drop the resolution a bit.

The larger you print the lower the resolution you can use as the viewing distance is grater.
You can up-size it if you wish but I don't think you see a lot in it...

should be alreet, who's doing your printing, I asked togsprint some questions when I used them a while back and they answered really sweetly

It's already been mentioned that you don't need as high a resolution for A2 prints, but I always get my stuff printed at 350dpi anyway. Photoshop Elements should be able to handle that nicely.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I've always used Photobox. Do you reckon I'd get better results with someone else?

I send big important stuff to togsprint, good quality and nice helpful people when I'm confuddled

ibr used photobox and printed many A2 prints using both my 400D and my 50D so you wont have a problem. The results are very good and would recommend them. about £10 a pop and doing free delivery at the moment. Or at least thats what the email i got said.
