I'll try to explain better, as my last post maybe didn't make sense. "Poser" is a 3d program. You don't print anything from there. It's always been quirky with dpi. But the thing is, it doesn't matter there (within Poser, that is). The only place it really matters is how your file is set up in the program that you use to print, whether it's Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or something else. There is the place where you want to make sure it's set up right. So... within Poser, if you render something 2000x3000, it's going to be 2000x3000 no matter what dpi Poser says it is. You can open the image you render in Photoshop (or wherever) and set the dpi there when you get it ready for printing. In other words, I plan ahead for a print. If I want something to print at 300 dpi, and I want it to be 8x10 inches in size, I make sure the render is 2400x3000. I pay no attention to what dpi Poser says it is. But when I open it in Photoshop, I make sure that it's set to print at 300 dpi. When I do that, it automatically tells me it will print at 8x10 inches. Hope that helps clear things up. Good luck.
