Hello there.

A customer wants one of my gallery artworks (View from a bedroom mirror) printed and framed. It's currently on my computer in a .TIFF format, but I can re-render it if necessary. Could someone please help me out with the following questions?

(a) What resolution do I render it to?
(b) On what kind of paper do I print it?
(c) I don't have a printer. Where can I print it in the format you specified in (b)
(d) I do not own a picture frame. Where and how can I get the picture framed?

Thank yew.

P.S. I'm in the U.S.A, if that helps.
P.P.S. A frame of around 15 inches a side is all right - customer isn't too particular about sizing.

I would render it in 300 ppi/dpi resolution. Kinkos has all kinds of paper and print prices are reasonable. Craft stores like Michael's have great framing departments and do custom framing if need be. just some suggestions...:>)

check out the tutorial about print sizing in the tutorial section at this link...and I dont really think Kinkos, or any other plce along those lines, are into printing posters or images like that...but I could be wrong, dont quote me on that...and if you ask a lithographer who does do that kind of work, they will only do it for a minimum of like 500 posters or something along those lines, we checked into that before...so your minimum output would be like $1,000...

I've heard mixed results with Kinkos. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. It seems to depend on the training and dedication of the person working the machinery. You could also check out cafepress.com and/or zazzle.com.

(a) What resolution do I render it to? 300 dpi should be good. probably be best to save it as a jpg with "best quality" or "lowest compression" depending on how your program names it. (b) On what kind of paper do I print it? how much do you want to spend? you could get kinkos to print it to 20lb bond (typical paper) or have your local photoshop print it to photo quality paper. (c) I don't have a printer. Where can I print it in the format you specified in (b) Kinkos, likely anywhere that prints digital photos. you could go to a "print shop" but they will want to do them in mass. there are lots of online printers also. ritzpix.com, shutterfly.com, snapfish.com, kodak.com (d) I do not own a picture frame. Where and how can I get the picture framed? Target, K-mart, Wal-Mart, Walgreens (small selection), CVS (small selection), Michaels arts and crafts (large selection and custom framing), Hobby lobby (large selection and custom framing), Garden ridge (large selection, might have custom framing). you could problby get a cheap one for $5-$10 or you could easily spend $30-$40 or more. I would definatly find what standard frame size you can get and render to that size. custom framing can get expensive really fast.
