Mate of mine here at work is having to design some artwork for an exhibition stand. Setting it up and designing it in photoshop. The final print is set to a scale of : W: 13400 mm x H3000mm.
This size is outside of photoshops boundaries. Anyone have an idea on how you would alternativly set this up in photoshop? I'm thinking the easiset and less memory consuming would be to just increase the dpi's of the document say on an A3 size artwork, and the printers could work around this?
Any ideas?Cheers,

Use something else like Illustrator?

and would this work in Illustrator?

talk to the printer. ususally you just scale it and then ensure that the final artwork is about 150 dpi at full-size. i've always done it in quark, though.

I would use Illy. Photoshop will probably choke a huge canvas like that...
Or even InDesign might be good.

Best talk to the printer. But 150dpi is usually OK and they'll RIP it and scale it.
Illustrator (vectors) will obviously scale to any size without loss of quality -so if it's just text shapes and colours and no bitmap images then set the proportions up in illustrator and send the printer the EPS/AI/PDF.

yeah do it in illustrator, theres not a lot you cant do compared to photoshop. you would need to borrow one of nasa's computers to run a file that size smoothly!

most banner/panels are acceptable when sent a quarter of the real size at 300dpi but as people have said, check with the printer, they have the final say.
