For example, an abstract image would be more easily enlarged compared to an image that was slightly out of focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Producing a test strip to preview the quality of a print<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At theprintspace we recommend producing a test strip at the largest possible size you may require to assess the print quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also gives you a chance to check colour, sharpness and the impact of enlargement made to the file. Remember, large prints will have a bigger viewing distance to take into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Still unsure about the best size to print your files?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Get <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/contact-theprintspace\/\" target=\"_blank\">in touch<\/a> with our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find the optimum size for your artwork using our print-size guide based on a cameras sensor size in megapixels and file size in pixels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"ht-kb-category":[142,26],"ht-kb-tag":[66,68,77],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Print-size guide for your artwork | theprintspace help centre<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read our step by step guide and learn how to find the optimum size for your artwork using our print-size guide.
