EZprints.com @ 177 DPI any good?

[Alfonso Bresciani]

I know that for best printing it should be @ 300dpi
but I have a panoramic file that I would like to print
(12"x91") and is only @ 177 dpi.

Can EZprint.com @ 177 dpi still give a great print?
Do they interpolate to the needed resolution like Mpix.com?
sRGB?

here is da pano:

That's a very nice panorama!

This information is a little dated, but I printed some 12" x 36" panos at EZPrints a few years ago. At the time, the site seemed to want 150 dpi photos and I thought the quality might suffer (the photos were actually 200 dpi). I downsampled and gave it a try (to pain, no gain). The prints were actually quite good and I had EZPrints make several more.

I recently had some 16" x 20"s done at 150 dpi within the last few weeks. The results were still very good.

My main complaint about EZPrints (both two years ago and recently) is that there are sometimes minor blemishes on the prints. These are only noticeable when you highlight the picture. Still, they are not perfectionists. If you want "near perfect" prints, I would go elsewhere, but you may pay more. Unfortunately, I have not found a good place to print panos online, maybe someone else can help you out here.

By the way, I would certainly like to know what software you used for stitching.

Realviz Stitcher...They supposed to come out with Version 5 very soon!

Thanks for the info and the kind words about the pano.

I just found out you can only upload to ezprints.com with a pc only
so..goodbye I'll place it in a 20x30" canvas print it @ mpix.com
and cut it.

I've been getting my stuff printed with mpix.com and I'm super happy with them!

By the way, I would certainly like to know what software you used
for stitching.

Can EZprint.com @ 177 dpi still give a great print?

Yes. I've printed at 100 dpi and gotten acceptable results (large print). In some cases you might even be able to get away with 75 dpi.

Do they interpolate to the needed resolution like Mpix.com?

I would assume so since I have sent them files with a wide range of resolutions. I don't set the resolution for the printer, I simply use all the pixels I have and let them deal with it. So far that's worked fine with excellent results.

sRGB?

I'm not sure what the question is. I've always sent pics using the sRGB profile.
