Hi all,
I have a question for those of us who have been involved with paper printing;
maybe other printing knowledge applies as well.
I am in the process of writing a book, and I hope it will contain many photos.
The publisher has stipulated B&W only due to the cost of printing colour.
B&W costs no more to print than the equivalent area of text, so the extra
cost of B&W images can be disregarded, except that it brings in more area
of paper.
Which is good, as I hope to have between 1 and 2 images per opening or
page, over somewhere (depending on page format/size) from 100 to 200
pages.
I am now engaging him in meaningful dialogue; I think I have convinced him
there's more to me that a pretty face (HA! We've never met - all our meetings
have been over the phone and by e-mail). I have been talking to him about
image quality and that I want to use my skills to ensure that these images
are sharp and the contrast and general level of brightness are a big
improvement on some books I've seen recently
He just told me about one aspect of the images he needs, as follows:
"no less than 300 dpi"
My question is, how do I relate this to pixels, when scanning.
Does one "d" as in "dpi" = 1 pixel?
If not, what does it actually equate to?
Sincerely,
Brian Swale
