That was a good link. I have never understood these issues before now, and
I may still be confused slightly.
From that article I gather that no printer (professional printing device)
cares about anything above 200 LPI. The article further claims that one
would generally want to print from an image 2 times the desired LPI. Given
that, my 600 PPI image is heavy by 200 PPI -- but 400 PPI would be just
right. My goal is simply to produce an image that can be used by anyone to
make whatever they want with it with a maximum possibility of 200 LPI for an
8" x 8" -- which should cover all needs and then some. Do I have this right?
I guess the question I have now is what the best method of delivery for the
image is -- that is, what file format is best? I was messing with a PDF
print to file method, but it always looked very crappy no matter how I
changed the settings. I have always previously understood that a .tiff file
was otherwise preferred, but the last time I asserted that here there was a
lot of discussion about it that I ultimately stopped following closely. I
could post the PSD file somewhere, but it presumes the ability to deal with
a photoshop file AND I am not sure I want people messing with my layers or
typography. What's the best file format for my purposes?
