In GIMP try 600 or 1200 dpi.
Otherwise, use a vector program like Inkscape (at 600 dpi) which can be
exported as a PDF.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Printing 24" x 36"
When printing engineering/architectural prints at 24" x 36" the prints show
pixelation around all of the lines. I saved the image as .png at 300 DPI.
I use Staples for my printing and they turn the .png into a PDF before
printing.
I'm curious if I should be exporting as s a .tiff or another file format.
And what resolution should I set?
Is the issue caused by transparency, RGB?
I've attached images of the prints that show the pixelation/artifacts.
