Hi I am new here but have a question that I am having difficulty finding an answer too, I would appreciate any help anyone could provide. I need to print a banner that is one continuous image. It will be 6 feet by 40 feet. I know there are printers big enough to handle this. My question is in order to print an image that large, would I need to actually create a photoshop file that is 6� by 40� at 300 or more dpi, or is there some trick to creating images that large. I just can�t even imagine what a file that large would do to my computer. If anyone has any experience in creating images this size I would love to hear how you accomplished it.

The large 150 dpi images I have printed look the same as the 300 dpi ones.

Eh, just my two cents here, but I do a lot of large posters, banners, etc. for presentations and marketing. Save yourself teh trouble and go with Illustrator and vector graphics. Even with boss workstations (mac or pc) a photoshop file as big as you require gets incredibly unwieldy. Think of it as the "one ring," you might make it so far, but eventually it will be corrupted and or difficult to bare...

With layered vectored graphics you can get some pretty stunning effects and place photoshop .psd's for particular bitmaps that accent your vectors. Just my thoughts, good luck.
