Re: [Gimp-user] Printing 24" x 36"

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

In GIMP try 600 or 1200 dpi.
Otherwise, use a vector program like Inkscape (at 600 dpi) which can be 
exported as a PDF.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Printing 24" x 36"

When printing engineering/architectural prints at 24" x 36" the prints show
pixelation around all of the lines.  I saved the image as .png at 300 DPI.

I use Staples for my printing and they turn the .png into a PDF before 
printing.

I'm curious if I should be exporting as s a .tiff or another file format.

And what resolution should I set?

Is the issue caused by transparency, RGB?

I've attached images of the prints that show the pixelation/artifacts.
