Possibly as much to do with the pro as anything. Currently the spec for 6 sheet posters requires a film size of 381mm x 254mm whereas for 48 sheet it's 305mm x 610mm, which is about twice the area.It all comes down to viewing distances. Many years ago one of the London ad agencies did a paper on the subject. According to their findings 35mm Kodachrome was preferred for 48 sheet posters while 10x8 was advised for bus shelter posters. The reason was that people stood a lot closer to bus shelters than they did to 48 sheet billboards.Bob Croxford
However 48 sheets has an screen of 48 or 120, whereas 6 sheets is 60 or 150 so this does tend to equalise them a bit and, of course a D1X file has more usable area in the 48 sheets format (2:1)
Let us know when's it's up David, and we'll all go and pronounce judgement :-)
