Hi Bloodsong; There was a thread on this below somewhere recently; but essentially, you'd want approximately 250 to 300 DPI. So if you have say 11x17, at 300 dots per inch, that would be 3300x5100. Saved as a bitmap (no compression), I'd guess about 40 megs, but I may be off on that (just a guess). It's so high because monitors, in contrast, are much lower on the resultion, typically 72 or 96 DPI. -Brian
