High resolution outputs
Nov 5th, 2009, 4:17pm  
Hey,

Im designing a 20"x30" poster for a Toronto Sound art Festival and Im using processing to create the visuals for the poster.

Only problem is, I seem to be limited to 72 px/in (screen resolution) outputs and are restricted by the size of my monitor. I need my outputs at 300 dpi or higher.  I would need my output to be 6000x9000 px to be high enough quality for the printed poster.

Is there anyway to change the resolution output? or scale down the java app on my monitor so I can fit 6000x9000 on my screen?  Or any other solutions?

If you want higher resolution search for tileSaver. Marius watz has a library that is able to save in higher resolutions. But i think it is not workin with the newest versions.  Toxi posted some working code though...

another way would be pdf output, but it depends on what you are actually drawing.

DPI isn't an issue, it is just an indicative number showing how to map pixels to inches.
You can output to 72dpi then open in any good image viewer and change the resolution to 300dpi (for example) and save back without altering the image itself.
