11 x 14 or A4 photos for group opps

[WillGinger81]

I think for the group shots it would be great to get larger prints of our photos as the current size we get just doesn't do them justice. Would SM consider getting printers dedicated to producing larger group prints please?

Probably not 3 weeks before the event.  Also if it's just to have a larger copy you can buy the jpegs after and get them printed in a larger size if you want.

Are the jpegs of a high enough quality where we can expand them without pixellation? Considering there are only 2 group shoots I think it's a reasonably attainable request

I just don't think they will spend loads of money for new printers for a couple of group shots.  Maybe it's something they will consider for the future but I'd assume they will be the standard 6x9's.

I don't actually know what the jpec specs are I'm afraid.

Would you need new printers or could they set the current ones up to print a larger size instead? I'm thinking 2 printers set up for 8x10s just for the group shots, at £375 a pop I think it's viable

They are 5760x3840. Should be sufficient to scale up to that size.

Do you know the DPI Rob? A higher DPI lessens the chances of pixellation

I would say that's not high enough for 8x10 size, that's a shame

Would also love if those files were avaible in higher DPI, I definitely plan to buy a few after the event.

[robmoriarty]

yes 300DPI would be better if poss. can the msg be passed on to the SM team for consideration at all?

Guys, you're getting confused between the settings on the image and what happens when you print them out, the jpegs on the website are fine for A4 sized prints if you want the whole image.

For the example above of a 5760 x 3840 image, an A4 print (~12 x 9 inches) would print out at over 450 dpi. at 72 dpi the image would be over 5 feet across.

Even the lowest resolution images available on the website (2400 x 1600) would be ~200 dpi at A4 size.

Whenever I've attempted to print an image with a high resolution but low dpi it's come out very pixellated so I'm not really sure how your theory works

I can verify this. I printed off several images I bought in size A4 and it worked fine.
