RE: CFImage at 300dpi
Terry, Actually, this is just a math problem. We've been printing full color images on digital presses for years using efflare to process uploaded images (JPG) to the optimal size/resolution/quality for our presses. However, if you are dealing with logos w/ text, EPS is the way to go and processing those with CF is not really an option. So... the solution is to make big images @ 72dpi and then compress them down to the size you want when you create your print file. Does that make sense? For example: A 100px wide @ 300dpi image would actually be a 416px wide 72dpi image. It's the same thing. The only trick is making sure whatever tech you're using to make print files doesn't "optimize" the image for the web when generating the PDF or whatever... Fun stuff... good times... good luck!

RE: CFImage at 300dpi
But all that still leaves us with the question of how to create a downloadable image file with CF that will carry 300dpi metadata with it to a printer. Of course, any end user can change the dpi, ppi, inches, etc., but in Terry's case, I suspect he wants to avoid that complication and simply deliver a printable object to end users. -Original Message- From: Claude Schnéegans [mailto:=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Claude_Schn=E9egans >Dpi effectively changes the size an image will print at, relative to its pixel density. More accurately : dpi is a suggested default setting for the printer that would eventually print the image so that the image will be printed at the size specified in the file. But first, ANY printer will know and be able to set itself its resolution in order to print an image at a specified size. Second, it is not the task of the image creator to decide a priori which size the image should be printed. It is the user's choice. There are actually 3 things embedded inside a jpeg image: 1. size in inches, 2. size in pixels, 3. pixels / inch Every database manager will tell you that there is a data redundancy here and when there is a data redundancy, there is a risk od some contradiction somewhere. If you need to specify the size the image should be printed, only the size in pixels and the size in inches should be necessary.

Re: CFImage at 300dpi
>>Dpi effectively changes the size an image will print at, relative to its >>pixel density. More accurately : dpi is a suggested default setting for the printer that would eventually print the image so that the image will be printed at the size specified in the file. But first, ANY printer will know and be able to set itself its resolution in order to print an image at a specified size. Second, it is not the task of the image creator to decide a priori which size the image should be printed. It is the user's choice.

RE: CFImage at 300dpi
Terry, In case you do have to use the PDF format for initial "image" creation, you might need to use a third-party application and create a batch file to run it to process your images. I found a couple that might be used this way (haven't tried these myself) at this URL: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/187-converting-your-pdf-file-into-an-image Let us know if you get something working.

RE: CFImage at 300dpi
Ben, It's my understanding that while PDF's don't have a dpi, the embedded images do. If that's true, what's the default resolution for the images and how can that be adjusted at runtime? Also, I noticed on the CF Docs... http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_p-q_0 2.html ...that there is an option (under the "Generate thumbnails..." section), for setting resolution at "high" or "low". Any idea what "high" and "low" means in terms of dpi? It seems that the entire image Terry is wanting to create could be saved using the resolution setting if the resolution at "high" is sufficient for printing at high quality.

I checked out a conversation about this from 2009 and it was mentioned that the dpi was not inherent in the image, but rather a function of an image's metadata.
