I am guessing that some of you out there can help me. I am wondering what the optimal(best image quality) dpi settings for several types of media are. What is the best output resolution for screenprinting(textile), magazine type media, poster size media? Does the size of output matter(3x5, 8.5x11, etc.)? Is there a guide anywhere? Also, are there standard colors(hues) for process color(CMYK)? I had someone print a 3-D design on a T-shirt, but the colors came out somewhat darker and different than what I saw on my monitor. Is that to be expected, and will that happen on printed paper media also?
