Let me know if you need a bigger size for the printers.

Yeah, sorry about the inbox. This site limits the size to only 50 messages at a time but thanks for posting your message here.

So glad you like the Cabinet Art. I created it using images that are freely available on the net (just Google Transformers and you'll find them all). Problem is, the images I used are not the highest resolution so the quality won't be so great when made a lot bigger. I can send you the file in any size you want and as a PSD file. Let me know the exact size requirements after you've spoken to your print person.

And just for fun....

I've just found some high res images of Megatron and Optimus Prime so I'll rework the Transformers art to a much higher resolution.

That's no problem. I'll create a few concepts and let you choose the one you like the best.

How about this...

I'm guessing the angle of the cabinet so it may need some final adjustment.

I made the image as big as I could (5000 dpi) and saved it as a PSD (and Jpeg). I'm not a skilled graphic designer so I don't use professional software (the program I used to design the image is 10 years old) and I'm not completely sure how this image will look blown up to full size but it looks good on my screen when I zoom in!

Let me know if you need any thing else.

your guy is completely off the track. I have work in the tradeshow industry for 12 years. made infinite amount of cabinet in my life for booth, tradeshow, arcade, jukebox..etc.. so I guess it qualify me to answer.

In digital you need a file at 100DPI only to print on large scale printer. so this 300dpi thing is a very false information. you better ask a couple of quotation here and there and change supplier.

my 2 cents

I'm also quite knowledgeable about printing and DPI. Large posters and such are often printed at 150DPI. sometimes even lower if the posters is very large. Magazine, books, company papers are often printed at 300DPI, though 600DPI is also used for very glossy magazines with high quality photos.

Having said all this: you can always resize an image without resampling it, e.g. you only change the DPI with no image degradation (ignoring possible double JPG compression when saved in that format). In Photoshop: uncheck resample image when resizing the image.

In your case: using a 150DPI as target and a width of 122cm your image needs to be 18300pixels wide.

Hope this helps.
