One more question...how many copy/copies did you ask him to print? I will fill you in once I have the necessary input from you. About asking the printer...don't ask them that. It does not determine anything for you as your original file is already 72 dpi. Printer talk lpi (line per inch) and if you are printing just one or twenty copies, they can use and injet or colorlaser. But you did mentioned "Press"....this indicate that color separation for press printing is involve. Thats what I need to know. Just ask them how did they printed your image...did they load into a PC/Mac and do direct casting, did a color sep or what (normally don't if its only a few copies). From what I understand so far, Karlm is right about your original file at 72dpi is too low and for the size you wanted to print at 14x10 inches, its too large for 72dpi and things start to get pixlated, blur and blocky. For press, resample your image file at 300 dpi (equalivent to 150 lpi (line per inch) )which is more then sufficient. After resampling, you may need to do some sharping etc...as this are "interpolated" product and not the original resolution. If the printer is just using a inkjet with capability of say, up to 720dpi or 1440 dpi, it makes no difference for you output, that's if your image is 300 dpi, its 300 dpi you get from a 720 or 1440 dpi printer. Also keep in mind that if you want to print a big image, you have to plan from scratch what resolution to use. Bill
