I guess it is off topic for the lounge so…
My first time in sending out files to be printed by who knows what company who knows where in the state with who knows what equipment or software.
My organization recently held a training session and I took the usual final class group picture with my Fuji-S2. The plan is to send it by CD to be printed by the various branches that had people at the training.
I do my photography work for my purposes (limited edition nature art pictures) and print with my Epson 2200. Policy and Procedure prohibit my using it for this. This is the first time I have had to do something like this. I have never used a digital print service. I am NOT in Graphic Art and the organization cut that due to budget restrictions. (Feel free to yell NEWBIE!!! or "FRESH MEAT!!!".)
I contacted the local places that do digital prints and got conflicting information as to just what they want.
Before I burn and mail out a stack of CDs, I would like to know if I have covered all reasonable options or if I over looked something I can control.
The group picture is in 8 bit Adobe RGB in both TIFF & JPEG file format (two files). One information source said that they prefer their Fuji Fronter be fed JPEGs so…
Both files are sized to fit 8 inch by 10 inch paper at 300 LPI. If the "LPI" is the wrong term, please forgive me. I mean that to mean information, in the file, that the printer uses to print at what ever dot count it is set to print at.
The color space and LPI information is included in a text file, with the pictures, on the one CD I have made.
Is there anything else I need to do/include? I have no authority in re-establishing a Graphic Art Department or in having these printed by one local source. I am based in a remote field office.
Thank you.
Bill
