720 DPI at up to 5x150'???
Sounds like a pretty large file size to me. Wouldn't want to be waiting for THAT file to upload to them!!

I did a Google search for "full color banners". I used this term since that's what the typical customer would probably use. I looked at a few sites (one listed above). Most would provide layout work at no additional charge, had an FTP for uploading files, and ranged from $1.95 sq. ft. to $3.50 a sq. ft. I posted the one above because I was amazed at the offer (includes free ship, layout, hemmed with grommets, etc.) and because this is a division of a large sign company. You think they would know better.

"No extra charges for full color, photos or number of words. No minimum quantity, no maximum quantity."
No shipping fees.
No layout fees.
Translation... No idea what they are getting themselves into. Rapid

What large sign company? I couldn't find it on the site.
If they are a large sign company they should know what they're in for. And if it doesn't work, they just take the site down.

The low prices may be what the Big Stores call a "loss leader," a sacrifice of one item to induse you to buy others. I don't know what that would be, in this case. Their print resolution mystifies me. It seems to say that no matter what you send them, they can produce 720 dpi at up to 5x150'.

I hope this will help clear up some of the confusion over dpi.
Supposing Mr. Joe Average came upon that site and wanted to purchase a banner. He had a business card he wanted blown up. Blown up.
He's gonna get 720dpi. I believe they're useing their printer's resolution as 720. It doesn't matter what the screen resolution is or how big the actual pixels are (VW bug). Their printer resolution is set at 720.
Posted by Paul Luszcz (Member # 4042) on :
We all confuse printer resolution (Dots Per Inch or dpi) with file resolution (Pixels Per Inch or ppi).
You can print a low res (low ppi) file at high resolution (high dpi). In this case, the banner company can print a 1" 72 ppi file at a printer resolution of 720 dpi at 150' long.
The result would be more or less 72 two foot long square pixels with soft edges.

Paul said "...The result would be more or less 72 two foot long square pixels with soft edges." -------------------- So if the original art were a business card, would the result be sharp and clear, or a pixellated mudpie?
