Hi all.
I am filling a cd with 12×12 labels to print out on an inkjet printer at a later time.
I need to use jpgs, as I will be sending them to a few people that won’t be able to use much else and obviously gifs aren’t the hot ticket for printing. If I scan them at 300dpi, full size, what would be a good size and res, or dpi, to drop them down to so that I can get more on the cd, yet allow someone to increase the size back to original without losing too much quality.
I imagine it’s a trade-off along the line but I would like to keep degradation to a minimum.
By the way, I am saving them all as psd files and will batch convert them to jpgs when I am done.

The less you reduce them the better.
Why dont you convert all of them to jpegs at 100% and see what the total size is.
Compare this with the space available for the labels on your cd and reduce accordingly ??

Pretty much how I’ve been doing it, I just go till the cd is full, I just want to cram as much on there as possible!

Are you saving the entire sheet as a jpeg or just one label? Is each label unique or is it a set of identical images?
