'Morning JOHNVQ3 . . . :)

I don't have "Photo Paint", so I couldn't explain the details in that program. What I use is "PhotoShop", & the procedure I use is: Once I load my image I select, "Image - Image Size / adjust my print size = in inches / adjust my resolution from 72 dpi, up to 300 dpi / then I uncheck 'Resample Image' / click OK". After using these settings, I get an image that has a high enough dpi for print with nice sharp edges & good colors. ;)

I hope this will help you some & have a good one . . . :cool: Mark.

:) Good afternoon Kruzr.

hey john-I use PhotoPaint-everything that I've printed out from ZBrush I've exported into PhotoPaint9 as a bmp(never a jpg for printing purposes)I don't do any color adjusting-use filters(99%of the time)or really do much of anything in PP9 as it seems to screw up colors-I print out at the highest res.that my printer will run.I think the main thing is convert to bmp not jpg.Hope this helps.Most of what I've told you here was on the advice of the great ed_the_atom_where ever he is these days.
