  Re: DPI help
 
(...) All depends on your viewing distance... If it's a poster to hang on the wall, intended to be viewed at 5 feet away or more, you can easily get away with 150x150 dpi, and often 75x75 dpi. Also depends on how quick/abrupt your color changes are, (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Problems with reaching www.ldraw.org
 
Tim, I think it would be a Good Thing to make this a news item on the ldraw.org homepage. And then park it permanently on ldraw.org somewhere (like in an ldraw.org FAQ). It won't help people at the time they're having the problem, but they'll be (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Problems with reaching www.ldraw.org
 
Several people have in the last year reported problems with getting access to www.ldraw.org.

(...) Render at 1/2 the target DPI as if going to 150 LPI Film. 9000x3000 and use Supersampling to smooth out any blends and over hard edges. Best DaveG (23 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Depends on the driver, I think. I know HP inkjets actually change ink dot size to achieve a better appearance without needing higher resolution.... My suggestion would be to experiment -- render something simple and try printing it out at (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
