I'd like to get a few art pieces printed, but I have a few questions. I want large prints, so what image parameters are required? Do I need a certain resolution, dpi, etc? I've seen prints online made on "cotton rag". Is that the norm, or are most printed on paper?
Is there anything else I should be looking for? Does anyone have experience with Society6 prints?
If I were to make a print, where would I want to go? A Kinkos or Staples?

Go to artpal dot com. On top of making decent quality prints and having the most competitive net return per print, they also have suggested pixel dimensions for different sizes. Generally though, I just try to make my smallest dimension on any piece 4000 px minimum as a rule of thumb.

So the images do have to be very large.
Thanks.

I want to order a few X-large prints from Society6, but I don't know how large the original artwork is. I'm worries that it may come out looking pixilated.

An important factor in print quality is the number of pixels per inch (ppi) used to make the print. The more pixels per inch, the finer the detail in the print will be and the sharper it will look. Probably the minimum value for reasonable print quality is 180ppi. For a better image you can go to 240ppi and for the best quality you may have to go to 300ppi.

So the math is actually pretty easy. Find out how many square inches you need the print to be, make the digital image as large as you need.

I do prints of my own shit. If you have it at 300 dpi, you blow an 8.5x11 up to 4 feet tall with no loss in quality. Canvas prints a little darker than photo paper.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
