<<Because i'd make an Image with a mapping of 2MB ( Text and color) and a
resolution of 1024×768.
If I understand correctly there are two issues.
1) A 2mb map ( if it fills the whole scene ) is small for 1024×768 or larger
output. One pixel of the map would be spread across two or more pixels of the
output.
2) You dont mention the final print output size. Perhaps 1024×768 is too small
for the final size and requires resampling up which also causes image
degradation after a certain point.
Also if the map is shown not perpendicular to the camera at a sharp angle it
may not be sharp.
I have found that for still work maps should be roughly the same size ( perhaps
slightly smaller, larger is overkill ) as the area they will occupy in the
output. I do lots of Iris prints and have had good results with 2000+ x 2000+
pixel images resampled up ( the service bureau does this ) for 10"x10" final
print. Also dont forget to give the service bureau a CMYK file.
Hope this helps
