I might need to print some large images 38 inches tops on the long side.
My question is how many pixels minimum, will I need to make them look good? I had great success with a 2800x2300 printed at 36 inches but I'm not too certain about the smaller files being usable.
Hi Steve,
Look to get about 4500 pixels on the long side minimum.
My 5400x3600 prints at 24x36" are real clear/sharp. I have one that is 7200 x 4800 @ 13.6mb
What's the intended viewing distance? You'll need 3800px on the long side for 100dpi. If the original is very sharp, this will probably look good from more than a couple feet away. It won't stand up to nose-on-the-print scrutiny.

I'm wondering why the few 2800x2300 prints I did at 32"(with 4" of combined border) looked good...even up close. According to that DPCPrint Chart they aren't supposed to. Hmmmm?
Maybe I should just get a few large test prints to see what happens?
