i'm going to design a company broucher / introduction papers using photoshop, i dont know whats a good DPI for it

default is 72 dpi, is 12 dpi good enough?

lol, dude, 72dpi is for screen resolution on monitor, for offset printing atleast 300dpi only u can get a sharper image and vibrant color. and, please use CMYK for color toning.

i use 200 dpi

Standard for offset printing is 300 dpi, or 150 lpi.

150 dpi is still very dangerous, 300dpi is recommended, make sure ur picture is big oso

i use 300dpi.

300dpi is default / standart size for offset printing

make sure u save ur file later in AI format...menurut kajian saya, AI punya printing output lagi best dr PSD....

maybe ai is using smarter cmyk thinggy i dun know...

i think most magazines will recomend you to use 300dpi..but when it comes to B&W, they have different kind of requirements, the best way is to ask the publisher~

urm.. I think 300dpi since all print material is done in Illustrator thus far.

yeah, is better to do ur work using vector programs like illustrator or indesign

just type ur text and print out, u will know the difference

in photoshop, if u wanna to print out, strongly recommanded use 300dpi or u will regret =D
if u wanna for internet usage or any software usage use 72dpi is enof

i'm not an illustrator user by nature, more of a photoshop junkie since most of things i design is for either websites and presentations, 1st time need to design a broucher, i have a veryx10 basic illustrator knowledge.

Been fondling with PS for about 10 years but not illustrator,

look, its like do ur werk in psd then later just open an illustrator program and place ur file on ur new A4 document...simple and

dats it

p/s when burn ur cd make sure u include/burn along wiff ur psd files coz the file from ai in linked to the psd files

hmm or you can actually do the design in photoshop then the text in illustrator.

Use Illustrator with 300DPI and of course, with your exact length and width that you wish to print.

thats how i usually do it, but dont look profesional to me, since i don;t remember the shortcuts in ILLU

i think you should use 300DPI

i oso do my background in photoshop and the text in illustrator, print out good, so no problem to me, u can embed the photoshop image into illus as well, but it'll increase the filesize but u will onli need the illus file for print

or u can use indesign or quark express to do the text, and insert the photoshop

just make sure everything is in 300dpi or if u printing large banner or posted u can go less, but better check with printer how much percent u can go down

how does it look not professional? its just the text?

it really depands on the dpi you are printing. Always set the resolution higher than the oone you are going. large format printing needs more dpi. I even go as high as 720 dpi for banners. Alwasys ask your printer what they need. A good and experience printer will always advise that. Worse come to worse pay someone to do the FA for you.
