>>Thanks for the info but I don't know what the finally size with be in print.
That is up to the publisher.
You said the magic words. Judy, when I get assignments like yours I beg off
trying to supply a file as anything you do won't be right. What I do is render
to a film recorder resolution like 4000×3000 and then dump it to a
transparency. 120 format is OK or even 4X5 if you have a service bureau that
can handle it. Then send them the transparency. This way they can scale it
all they want and not severly artifact the final output. As much as we all
like to deal in pure digital format the truth is most printers are more at ease
dealing with hardcopy anyway. This way you save all the agrivation of dealing
with the color separation process, line screen and angle settings etc. The
printer knows best how to handle it anyway.
