Shirt Printing

[Scorpio]

OK guys i need someone who knows about that business
I found a cartoonist who can draw me a..... CARTOON (yaaaaaay!!!!)
The only thing is she can only draw using 72 dpi... is that enough for printing... or 300 dpi is a must?

Let me know thanks

Hey there Scorpio

well we are both into graphics as you know but my exprience w/ Printing that I see some one take it down too is atleast 200-220
but 72 is for webstuff
hey I may be wrong & this girl knows something I dont....:boom:

Hi Macho
Yeah 72dpi would look bad on a t-shirt i would think so.
Too bad because i really liked her style. oh well thanks for the reply.

do you have the image in 72 DPI that you can get it to me
I have a program that works on fractals & i been able to do miracles w/ it enlarging images

the bigger the image is at 72dpi the better i can make it look at a higher resolution

I was just about to ask that, Macho. Isn't the a way to increase size and dpi without losing all of the intergity? I know I've been able to play the resolutions on black and white photos using paintshop. I'm sure the color factor has a lot to do with it.... but

From my own experience any printing we've done has always been requested in 300dpi.

Scorpio are you looking to do transfers or have the shirts silkscreened?

300 DPI is the minimum

When we design bitmap we always do in 700 dpi or so

We require 400 dpi + normally for shirt printing .


But if you want to send the file to me I can get somebody to do it in vector . It will look almost the same but you will be able to extend it as much as you want .

martin@barbuzz.net if you need more info or somewhere to print them.

Ah - I was just about to mention saving it in Vector format and going from there to enlarge it .... but I see it got covered as an option!
