:siren: important update :siren:

i cut 25 squares out tonight. they're not very big. everyone get out your rulers and measure 5 inches by 5 inches. maybe even print your square out at that size and look at it. i'm concerned about ones like g0ms. it won't really be readable. there's plenty of time for revisions if you think yours won't look good at that size

I was thinking that too. 5 inches is like the size of your phone's screen y'all. keep in mind.

what dpi does your printer print at? I think most are 300 so that would make the new image size be 1500x1500

Yeah these aren't going to be 300DPI, but I don't think anyone wants to work at that size

dpi= dots per inch, essentially how many on-screen pixels will be in an inch when printed. I believe the usual dpi of a home printer is 300dpi, but it would depend on the project I suppose. I'm not sure what you are printing it onto but I dont it would accept 300 dpi

Machai

I guess what I want to know is, when you print, will 800 pixels equal five inches?

well um, as ivy pointed out, when i tell it to print one of the options is 2 5x7 images on one page which will size them just right. so i clearly the computer magically does something to make them that size :shrug:

looks like the windows printing thingy automatically upscales them to a forced 5×7 or in this case, 5×5

it will shrink or stretch the image.

when you choose 2 5x7 images, does it have anything that says what the zoom % is or something? stretching would be bad because it can make the images fuzzy, shrinking is not as bad.

ok print this without resizing it



then measure the green/blue lines in the middle. if they are an inch, them the printer is printing at 300 dpi

this 1500 pixels, so printing with with windows photo viewer at 5 inches will make a 300 dpi image (unless she has a poo poo printer, which seems real unlikely)

ok so obviously the real life thing is way better than the cell phone photo of the real life thing but i'd say all in all the quality is "excellent"
