I do it several times. Or try to reduce DPI such as 72 or 100. Your drawing is vector, there should be no problem. | |

| Oct 13, 2013 at 9:04 | comment | added | Michael | ah ok, that is explaining what I see. | |
| Oct 13, 2013 at 9:02 | comment | added | Scott | Vector content has no resolution. There is no ppi for anything which is vector. | |
| Oct 13, 2013 at 8:57 | comment | added | Michael | Thanks for the links, I will check. Do I understand correctly that raster and vector may print @ different resolutions(technologies) for single print batch? When I check the sample 6x3m billboard that I made it appears to me that vector parts may be even more than 300 DPI, but raster(photoshop) parts doesn't look to have such quality. | |

| Oct 13, 2013 at 8:44 | comment | added | Scott | Checking printer models won't help, you need to discuss things with the print provider. It's unlikely they need a full size, full resolution files. If they do, they are unlike any US oversized print provider I've ever dealt with. Overseas vendors will often spout off "high end" printing specification regardless of whether it's true or not so they don't sound inferior. | |
| Oct 13, 2013 at 8:42 | comment | added | Michael | Simple googling "billboard printer machine DPI" brings me 1440 DPI equipment. | |
| Oct 13, 2013 at 8:37 | comment | added | Michael | Well, AI file is of course not full size and it's like 10% of real size, because it's vector. The printing company is in china and they claim they are printing at 300 DPI. It's a billboard. Do you have any reference printer model of average printing so I can check the specs? I am just not sure how to search this kind of equipment. | |
| Oct 13, 2013 at 8:25 | comment | added | Scott | Are you certain items of that size are printed at 300dpi? Most oversized pieces are printed at a much smaller dpi. You should be able to work at 3'x1.5' at 300ppi and then print at 200% to achieve a 6x3' at 150dpi banner. (Or even smaller with a larger output scale). I've created many banners and billboards and have never worked at full size and full resolution. | |
| Oct 13, 2013 at 8:13 | comment | added | Michael | because the printer is printing at 300 DPI and customer want to have good quality. Also the pictures allow me to have 150DPI. | |
