File Sizes and stuff

If you get your work scanned or digitized before bringing it to us, you need to consider the size of the scan required for your final print.

Please note that these file sizes only relate to the IRIS 3047 Printer. Using the IRIS we can print from 300 or 150 dpi files for your image. In most cases, you won't notice a difference and the resultant images will be of a far superior quality than using larger files with other inkjet printers. Examples of file size as it relates to image sizes is listed below:

Image Size Resolution File Size
8 x 10" 150 dpi 5.4 MB
8 x 10" 300 dpi 21.6 MB
34 x 46" 150 dpi 105.57 MB
34 x 46" 300 dpi 422.28 MB

We strongly recommend that you talk to us before undertaking your own scanning so we can advise on the best methods.

Note:
Now that we have stated "technical" sizes, we have managed to print some extraordinary images from low resolution files (consumer digital cameras for example) because of the unique way that the IRIS deals with the images.
