There is no need to render at such a high number of pixels.

Even if your printer is 1200 DPI, that's not pixels, it's colored dots. The "D" stands for Dots, as in Dots Per Inch = DPI. What you are producing or really care about is PPI = Pixels Per Inch.

The effective PPI resolution of your typical 1200 or 2400 DPI home color printer is 300 PPI, but hardly anybody can tell the difference between that and 150 PPI.

So at 150 PPI, you need only render at 1200 x 1500 pixels for an 8 by 10 print.

At 300 PPI, you need 2400 x 3000 - totally doable with Poser.

Think about this. 2400 by 3000 is 7.2 Megapixels. How does that compare with your digital camera?

I have a 6 Megapixel Cannon pocket camera that shoots great photos that I regularly enlarge to 24 inch prints, with no problem. I also have a Nikon D90 12.5 Megapixel SLR which shoots crazy pictures that can be blown up easily to 60 inches. My point is 12 Megapixels is clearly overkill for an 8 by 10 and you don't need to go there and certainly not ever go higher.

The suggested 26000 x 16250 is 422 Megapixels!?! Have you ever heard of anybody, even a pro, thinking they need images of 422 Megapixels?
