Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp on M1 Macbook Air will not export in 300 dpi

[Pat David <patdavid gmail com>]

Getting back on the list b/c I wasn't paying attention when I initially
replied to you.

Can you export a PNG file at the size 13,000 x 13,000 pixels?  If so that
should be all you need.  The print shop/POD will then use whatever dpi they
want to print at that point.
