1. What print sizes are included with my purchase?

I create my art as either Medium, Large, X Large or Square images. The size of each artwork is listed in the product description and also shown in the product images. 

For each poster size, you also have the option to print in a range of different ratios. To make this easy, your purchase includes access to 4 ready sized files, so you can pick the size you need (with the exception of Square Posters). 

To ensure the highest print quality it is important to use the file that correctly matches the print size you are after. 

Each file can be printed in the largest size listed in the relevant table below and any smaller size in the same ratio. 

These are international standard sizes, making it easy to source ready made frames. 

Your purchase also includes a Print Instruction Guide PDF document that clearly sets out the sizes included with your artwork and which files to use for the various ratios plus some useful printing tips and recommendations.

3. Can I print the artwork bigger than the largest file provided?

 

File 4 is the largest file for each artwork. This is a 300dpi high resolution jpeg file. 

You can print larger than this size, but it will result in a drop in resolution. 

For example, a Medium Poster is 16 x 24 inches (300dpi), this file can be printed larger, (ie a 20 x 30 inch poster) but the resolution will drop to 240dpi. 

The general rule of thumb is that the larger the artwork, the lower the resolution needs to be. This is because large artwork is not viewed up close, but from a reasonable viewing distance. Small artwork needs to be high resolution (300dpi) for a quality crisp image but large work can be lower than 300dpi. 

Generally print companies accept a minimum resolution of 210dpi. 

If you want to print larger, please contact me via email and I can calculate the resolution for you to see if it will be suitable for printing. If so, I will re-size the file for free.
