All fabrics are NOT the same but trying to predict how long your banner will last is tricky. It all depends on what you want to use the banner for (indoors? outdoors? windy conditions? rainy conditions?) and how you store it (throw it in a pile in the garage or roll it up and place it in a tube).

so, do you have the image on a disk? A photograph? Let''s say that it is Great Aunt Edna''s 90th birthday. What better way to show you care than to give her a life-size printout of herself! To ensure that every wrinkle prints out clean and crisp, we need the full-size image resolution to be 50 dpi (Dots Per Inch). That means that when we blow up Aunt Edna''s best mug shot from a 3"w x 5"h photo to a 36"w x 60"h banner the scan has to be done at 600 dpi. The nifty little equation we use for figuring this out requires some algebra skills on your part but works wonders when trying to determine the scan resolution of your image. Photographic Prints and Negatives: How photographs and negatives scan depends on the quality of the original. If the image is blurry there is little that can be done to improve the sharpness. If the photograph is too dark or too light, or the color is not great, the scan can be manipulated to some extent and improvements can be made. A negative will always contain more detail in the shadow and highlight areas than a photograph produced from it. Whenever possible, please provide the negative along with a photographic print that appears less than perfect. Transparencies: 35mm slides, 2 1/4", 4" x 5" and

8" x 10" transparencies are acceptable for color and grayscale scanning. While 35mm slides may become "grainy" when enlarged, transparencies 2 1/4" size and up will reproduce extremely well in most cases. If possible, specify to your photographer to use 2 1/4" format or 35mm film intended for extreme enlargement. Full Color and Grayscale Scans: Continuous-tone art is most commonly submitted in the form of transparencies, photographs, or negatives taken by a professional photographer. Supplying preprinted artwork such as a magazine page or a printout from a color printer is highly discouraged. "Rescreening" this type of art will result in either a moire pattern and/or a blurry image. Scans for Recreating Artwork: Client supplied artwork is often submitted as black and white "slicks" or printed material such as stationary, decals, promotional pieces, etc. This art is scanned as a "template" with the intention of recreating it in Adobe Illustrator. The finished art can contain one or more colors and varying tones of those colors. While a scanning charge does not usually apply, an art charge to recreate the image may. The complexity of the image as well as the quality of the buyanewhouse supplied original will have a direct effect on art charges.
