MS Office Forum / Publisher / Commercial Printing / September 2004increasing the dpi in publisher
Does anyone know how to increase the dpi when creating a picture for a logo? I need it to be a minimum of 1000 - 1200 dpi. What version of Publisher are you using?

You cannot save as a graphic with more than 96 dpi in Publisher 2002 or below without using third-party software such as FinePrint (www.fineprint.com), SnagIt (www.techsmith.com), or GhostScript (www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) in conjunction with GSView (www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/).

Rule of thumb: the dpi of an image or object should be twice the lpi the file will be printed at. Inkjet printer = 150 dpi Laser printer = 175-200 dpi Professional output = <350 dpi Mike > Does anyone know how to increase the dpi when creating a > picture for a logo?

If practical, the ppi of the image should be the same as the dpi of the output device - but for imagesetters (which tend to be around 2400 dpi) a ppi of 1200 is adequate. That being said there's no good way of adding pixels to an image without deteriorating it - short of redrawing or tracing the image as a vector graphic. This sort of work needs to be done in a vector drawing program (ie Illustrator). I heard a good metaphor today. It's like rewriting a book based on the Readers Digest condensed version.

Who ever is doing your film/plate output is the only one that needs to worry about dpi. Wendell > Does anyone know how to increase the dpi when creating a > picture for a logo?

If you need a specific resolution, it must be handled that way from the very beginning. You cannot "add" resolution without making matters worse. > Does anyone know how to increase the dpi when creating a > picture for a logo? I need it to be a minimum of 1000 - > 1200 dpi. |
