Hey folks,

A family member of mine wants to print a canvas of an image with a size of approximately 60 x 40 inches.

What's the minimum pixel count and file size I would need for this print?

At 300dpi, it would require an unattainable 18000 x 12000 pixels. Without upscaling, how low can I drop the dpi and still maintain appropriate resolution for this canvas.

View distance will be approx 3 feet.

Canvas has shit resolution anyway... Your 7D will be fine. Just try to not crop heavily.

Canvas on Demand asks for 150 dpi for their files.

Thanks! Do you know if 150dpi will be decent, or just the absolute lowest quality.

150dpi is acceptable for paper prints (to be sold to the public) here at DPC prints; canvas should have an even higher tolerance.

I've regularly done canvases at about 120 dpi and they look fine.

With the sellers that I work with, th eprofessional photo books or coffee table books for brides are printed in 200dpi, and thei are seen really close. The canvas sould be fine with 100 dpi.

150dpi is the best for canvas photo print and it looks fabulous.
