Simone_DF Posted February 17, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) A customer asked me if I could print a photo at 54x36” size (120x80cm). The photo has little to no cropping, but I’m not sure if I can print that big, any tips? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Richardson Posted February 17, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2019 I work as an exhibition printer. I would say that size is a bit of a stretch for the m10 in most conditions, but it could be possible depending on the image, how good the file is, and the client expectations. When I work for clients at this scale, I highly encourage printing a test print at the same scale (for example, a test strip, rather than the whole photo), to see what the photo looks like. This is quite an upscale from the M10, but as I said, it could be ok depending on the image. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted February 17, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Well, you are the specialist. But: I just had printed a few pictures (nature) in size 100x66cm (40x26 inches) and they turned out perfectly. I just had to adapt the dynamics and saturation a bit in Lightroom (increase both). I am extremely satisfied. Mybe I was just lucky as I understand vey little about printing. Edited February 17, 2019 by Alex U. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simone_DF Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted February 17, 2019 Here’s the photo. Night shot with a lot of contrast. The client want it printed on aluminium dibond! Welcome, dear visitor!

andybarton Posted February 18, 2019 Share #8 Posted February 18, 2019 I have a print on my living room wall taken with a Nikon D700, 12mp and an Elmarit-R 28mm lens. The print is full frame and about 1000mm wide and it looks fantastic, even if I say so myself. It was printed and framed by Whitewall in Germany. I would recommend doing a test print at the required resolution so that you can judge for yourself. Viewing distance is crucial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simone_DF Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t have time to do a test shot, the client wants it as soon as possible. I generally print from DStudio UK, but this time I’ll use Whitewall for sure, I know they are very good and moreover not everybody prints on aluminium at this size. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simone_DF Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share #10 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Well, it looks like Adobe came to the rescue! I was not aware of that, but there's a new interpolation engine in Photoshop CC called Preserve Details 2.0 and it's great! Here's a 100% crop of my photo: https://imgur.com/a/AldWKNO I've blown it to 10800x7200 pixels at 200 ppi.

Herr Barnack Posted December 6, 2021 Share #11 Posted December 6, 2021 For the M10R with a 40.89 MP sensor, at a resolution of 150 ppi you can print to 52.43x34.67 inches (133.16x88.05 cm.). If you want a higher resolution print at 200 ppi, you can print to 39.32x26.00 inches (99.87x66.04 cm.). In my experience, very large prints cause people to have a tendency to step back a bit when viewing them in order to be able to take in the print as a whole. This longer viewing distance helps to offset the lower ppi count that very large prints require from the 24x36mm 40.89 MP sensor of the M10R and/or M10 Monochrom.
