how do you print pictures out with poser 5 without losing detail or quality?

I ususally Export the image as a high quality TIFF file, then import it to Photoshop, and pront it on an Epson color plotter.

Ask me a question, and I'll give you an answer.

now there's someone with mo' money..;) Tiff files are used by professionals..but be forewarned, they can get honkin' big..;) Plotters, depending on the size, don't come cheap either..;)
It would probabaly help if you tell us what you're aiming at; wallet size, poster, plain paper, glossy, etc. I know jpeg files will lose some detail (which is why it's considered a 'lossy' standard)..not sure if this helps, but since I have to do printers for a livin'..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit

plain paper/glossy, this picture will not print out no matter what I do with the printer settings. oh if it helps i use a Espon 860 color printer

Espon used to recommend 240 ppi for best results (you need several printer dots for each image pixel, since the dots themselves can't manage the 16 million colours of a standard RGB image), so decide how big you want your print, in inches, multiply by 240 and set that as your render size (you will need to render to a separate window), then save as TIFF or PSD and open in your image editor/layout application to print. The file will be big, but as long as you have the PZ3 you can always delete it and just keep a screen resolution version.

thanks for the help
