Best Resolution for Projection ??

[Jim Thompson]

Any thoughts on the best resolution at which to import line drawings
so that you get the best projected picture?

150/300 dpi ??

Thanks!

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Forget DPI and read the following:

The answer is far more complex than the question.

Couple of considerations:
Will the picture be full screen, partial?
What is the projector's ability? 800x600, 1024x768
What is the computers ability? 486 or 4 GHz, 64 RAM or 2 Gig's

Lastly, look to an expert to tell you how to apply this information:

What Sonia said. Only with line art, I usually like the results better if I
overscan relative to what'd make a good scan for a photo. Try at the
recommended settings, 1.5 and 2x that, see what works best for you.

I'm dealing with line art (schematics) produced by a program (PSpice).
I can output at 150/300 dpi into a PDF, then, from Acrobat, I "Save
As" into a PNG.

I just wondered what dpi settings at each step would work best.

I guess I can run some corners and see what I like.

Saying "150 dpi" is like saying "25 miles per gallon" and then asking if that's
enough to get you to Cleveland without knowing how many gallons you have in the
tank.

It's a ratio. The first half of the puzzle, the 150, is meaningless w/o the
second half.

I guess I can run some corners and see what I like.

Bingo!
