Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f/1.7 Aspherical MF Wide Angle - Black

Hi

I virtually never print my work - so I haven't a clue about this sort of thing.

I'm being asked to supply some images for A4 prints, anybody know what sort of size, settings I should be exporting the digital images at?

(I won't be doing the printing but I need to send them in a print-ready form - it's the DPI setting I'm most puzzled about)

Many thanks

Paul

If possible get the image to 300 dpi at that final print size; a minimum is probably 150 dpi.

Ideally, you should convert your image to the color profile of the printer on which it will be printed, and save the file with this color profile embedded (if it is a color photo, that is).
