MY suggestions when getting something professionally printed: First of all your best bet is to call the place you want to have it printed at and ask them what their specs are. The magazine I work for, for instance, requires 300 dpi for all pixel-based artwork at the size it will be when printed (no less than 266 dpi). You wouldn't believe how many folks we call because of lo-res artwork who proclaim "But it IS 300 dpi!" totally forgetting that they used the image at 150% in Quark XPress. Getting a professional art print will more than likely require a higher dpi resolution (and yes, I'm talking dpi here because most printers speak in dots per inch when referring to ink). Printing on your printer at home is a different story. My best suggestion is to call and ask BEFORE you render...that way you will be certain :). Also, since most of us work in the RGB colorspace, your art will need to be converted to CMYK in most cases. That is changing tho, so you need to ask about that too :).
