The guy at the graphics design company tells me he wants my renderings in 300dpi Width21cm.
But I always end up with 96dpi renderings..
Does anybody have any suggestions?
thanks laurits
Your settings look fine. I always bump mine up a bit more to about 3000 pixels for 8.5".
Edit - What your properties isn't telling you is that it is based on if it were a 25-26" wide picture, then it would only be the 96 dpi. Just stick to the KeyShot settings like you are doing.
question about the difference between resolution and dpi.
Does it really matter if I render at (let's say) 1920x1200 at 300dpi or 600dpi
what does it add or do?
KeyShot will just tell you what size you can print out at the desired dpi and resolution settings you have.
At 1920 x 1200 resolution size:
6.4" x 4" if printed out at 300 dpi
3.2" x 2" if printed out at 600 dpi
When I get a rendering request, my first question is how big do you want it in inches and take the length and width x 300 to get my resolution size. Haven't had a request for a 600 dpi yet...
many thanks. I have already send pictures for the graphic designers. hope they approve them :)

so when I choose 600 dpi, a printer thinks that the "pixels" lay closer together... delivering a smaller but sharper print?
if so, I understand now. Thanks
