I've read a online somewhere a while back that the bigger the end product, the less the amount of dots per inch needed. is this true? if so, when do I start changing from 300dpi for A3 sizes to smaller DPI's on larger size prints?
is there a way to calculate this? I'm always thinking it might for spending less ink on the larger size prints, etc
and what should I use for a 8x4ft poster when:
1. people are gonna see it up close
2. when the closest they get would be about 4-5 feet away
with this particular poster, people are gonna be up close.
thanks for any info

Talk to the company who will make the final print. They will tell you what is best for their equipment. I use a company that makes display booths for conventions and such. They use 100ppi. the images look great even up close.
Always talk to the printer.
