You can achieve optimum quality for your image if it has 100 dpi at the selected format size (such as A2 size). If you are unsure about your image please contact us and we will take a look before you order.

The Problem:

DTP professionals, Internet hobbyists and digital camera owners are familiar with the problem: enlarging digital low-resolution images leads to loss of quality. The problem lies in creating new information. For example: take an image 400 pixels high and 300 pixels wide. The total number of pixels in this image is 120,000 (400x300). If this image is enlarged by a factor of 4 - to 1600 x 1200 pixels - 1.8 million pixels must be created. An image that looks satisfactory on-screen must often be enlarged several times to be output to a higher-resolution printer. This means a great deal of time is often spent to obtain an enlarged image with a somewhat reasonable quality.

Today's enlargement techniques, such as those used in all leading graphic packages, are hardly suited for this type of work. The result: blurred images and jagged edges.

The Solution:

At Big poster Prints we have invested in the industries latest software which overcomes this problem. An ideal enlargement retains its sharpness and has no jagged edges. This is precisely where the software technology shines. The S-Spline software intelligently analyses the sharpness and evenness of the original image. S-Spline decides which parts of the image must be enlarged, optimally using more or fewer steps as required. The final results include images, photos and text that remain as true-to-life as possible, with sharp contrasts and no jagged edges.
