Just wanted to find out what is the largest size print anybody has done from the D70? I havent taken a photo i would like to print at large size yet.

I've got to a 20 x 24 inch print... I could've printed it at around 30, but I didn't want to bother with it. I can go a bit higher than that I think, but to go higher than A3 using the D70, you need to use some extra interpolation unless you opt for printing at 72dpi, and the only time that's warranted is around billboard size when going close up isn't an issue.

What size are you looking for?
We have done up to Super A3 size on the Epson 2100

Here's a bit of a size chart:

A4 210 x 297mm 8.27 x 11.69inches
A3 297 x 420mm 11.69 x 16.54inches
A2 420 x 594mm 16.54 x 23.39inches
A1 594 x 841mm 23.39 x 33.11inches
A0 841 x 1189mm 33.11 x 46.81inches
2A 1189 x 1681mm 46.81 x 66.22inches

Super A3: 13 x 19inches

Super A3 is actually part of the B format, the B format being bigger than the A format... see here for more details.

And there are also all sort of inch sizes you can reach like 16 x 20 and 10 x 20 and 20 x 24 and 50 x 80 (the biggest I've seen for printing.. I highly doubt a D70 can do this one)

The largest from one of my pics has been A0 - I did not print it the client did. Apparently it looked great (beers) and I realised the larger size with PixelScale.

That was the answer i wanted to know, thanks

i have a 30x20 of this pic on my bedroom wall

cheers rob

Hi Rob,

How did you manage to bump up the image to print to a 30x20? Also what is the minimum viewing distance for the image?

I am really interested in knowing how to do this in Photoshop, and would appreciate the tips.

Thanks,
Nosh.

i took about 4 pics and stitched them together using jasc photo album 4 then retouched the colour, sharpness, etc then i used an action i got from the net somewhere which resizes or downsizes in a stepwise fashion, i then saved as a tiff and sent it to the printers.

Ignore my comments, i wasnt refering to your website. I initially couldn't c your image becasue of a setting in Firefox.

Nothing to do with your website. Just ignore that comment!

A while ago at an evening course at UNI there was a guy who had done some model shots.
He step by step increased one image size by 10% in Photoshop.
He was able to print a 1.2m by 80cm or something very similar in size.
I can tell you that the image was NOT pixels at a few centimeters of distance. However you could tell at some areas that he had used masks during pp. The definition of the print reveiled some areas that needed cleanup.

I've got a 20x30 framed on my wall. Close up it looks good, from a distance of 1m+ it looks great.

(sorry it's 400k so I thought I'd link to it rather than inline it)

That was a large JPEG. I'd like to do a comparison with RAW images and taken to the printer in TIFF to see the difference.

Some shots that I took of a friends car were printed in the club magazine, they were all 35M TIFF images, the centerfold came out fantastic.

I know that this isn't what you meant, but if you have a wall to cover and want a really, really large version of your image try using the Rasterbator...

Try it... It's fun...

G'day,
I've had up to 30" prints from the D70 without upsizing the resolution, learnt a lot about PP since those first prints though. They came up well, better than I expected, close up I can see faults (maybe because I know where they are, but I think they're photographer faults not image) but more than a couple of feet away and they're fine...

Cheers,
Mudder
