  If it prints sheetfed large format I recommend 200-250dpi at 100%.you can build your mechanicals at 50% provided your printer is comfortable writing out 200% postscript and your CT(continuous tone) is actual size...
  most of the 1-sheets in this town are built that way but they fall well under the 200dpi safety and the majority of design firms supply a 50% mechanical with artwork at 150dpi at final output... the general public isn't savvy enough to distinguish between 200 and 150dpi but if you get into stochastic screening for special projects then you can really tell.

  in any event i think you're safe building a 50% mechanical with a 100% CT at 150dpi... most vinyl banners are output on vuteks these days so that should be kewl
