Art Tutorials

OK, today we’re going to talk about possibly the most important subject for any artist - your working space.

What I would like to address today is the basic procedure for printing art from a digital file. Let’s begin with the initial setup. The industry standard for digital output of graphic files is 300 dpi (dots per inch). That is the standard, but there is a reason behind it, which should be taken into account before you decide on what you want your resolution to be. The rule of resolution is that the dpi should be twice your lines per inch (lpi or line screen) of the actual printing device. 300 comes from most high end full color printers outputting at 150 lpi. However, many film setters can print up to 350 lpi for really fine screens.

There are different types of art schools, each with varying degrees of quality, time requirements, degree options, and price ranges.

I get a lot of spam. I get porn spam, mortgage spam, medicine spam, get-a-degree spam, software spam, virus spam, get-rich-quick spam, new job spam, website spam, and even green eggs and spam. Hundreds and hundreds of spams every day. Spam that makes my skin crawl, and spam that makes me wonder how stupid they can possibly think I am.
