In additionally most prefer that the artist has control throughout the process, this includes the print production. That would mean that the artist (you) made a control print and all additional prints be made to your specification. You may have to build a close relationship with the lab you choose to get some control over the printing of your images.

I can set a 30x40 pixel photo to 300 dpi... For gallery prints you will need at least 3000 x 2400 pixels, and more is definitely better. And you will need to have them professionally printed. Be sure to talk to the gallery first, many won't accept prints unless they were in on the printing process. If you already have a gallery working with you they likely have a print service company they prefer. And they will dictate the matting and framing they require. If you don't have a gallery yet, call a few and ask which print companies they use. They will be glad to recommend the ones they think are best.<br><b>References : </b><br>Camera Club Educational Coordinator Professional Photographer Photography Workshop Leader dpi means absolutely nothing about photo quality or fitness to print at large sizes.

Nevertheless, many printing places -- Alphagraphics, Kinkos, OfficeDepot, OfficeMax, Staples, etc. -- have pretty good color print capabilities. You could call around for a specialized printer to get a D print, Iris print, Lambda print ..... especially if the image is in color.<br><b>References : </b><br> In truth, much depends upon the size of the print — as 300 dpi works well for an 8 x 10 inch print, but will look pixelated if you’re aiming for a large-format print.
