IWC Doppel Posted June 7, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I know there are a number of threads but looking to see how big you can go for a lounge wall where you might look at the picture close up. Any experiences would be very helpful my printer is A2+ and that's easy for an M9 file with a loop so I know the MM files will go pretty big Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted June 7, 2016 Share #3 Posted June 7, 2016 As big as you like; the viewing distance is related to the print size/resolution, hanging on a wall you can upres quite a bit. With the Monochrom the detail is so plentiful that there are really no limits. Nobody needs a 300 DPI print @ 2x3 meters. Unless your guests climb sofas Your professional printer will be able to advise you on this specific file and image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

probert Posted June 21, 2016 Share #5 Posted June 21, 2016 I did a little test and had a 1000 x 1000 pixel detail from a monochrom shot printed on 30x30cms. That's 80 dpi. It looked great, especially when you step one meter away, which you would normally do for a 2 x 3 meter shot. I did my little test after I saw the huge prints they show in the Leica showroom. I just had to see if there was some hidden trick involved there. There isn't. 80 dpi works well enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about striking a viable balance between dpi and viewing distance; that will vary from person to person depending on how demanding of image quality they are.
