    Cheers Danny.
    I'll have to look into the isbn thing, it would be good to get listed on something like Amazon.
    Thanks

    Hey Sav,
    I've been looking into that a bit. It's about £110 for ten. That's the minimum purchase.

    Or at least that what it leads me to believe here.

    Thanks polioliolio, much appreciated. I was working to the specs for Blurb's 7 x 7 inch book:

    Boxy, 7 x 7 at what dpi? Essentially, I think the Canvas Size is the more useful measurement when working digitally.

    Although it would be interesting to know if you printed your images at their final print size, or shrunk them to look the same scale, in order to see how things were reading.... I've run into this sometimes when making an image which is then printed-- on my screen its quite large, and things read differently when printed at various scales. On that level, the actual size of the final print image has importance too. Just kinda curious how you approached those things.

    Thanks screenpainter.

    Steve I always use 300ppi for this kind of print work. I can't quite remember the exact working pipeline now, but I basically painted the images to match Blurb's specs as I knew this was the route I'd be taking. I do remember working out a canvas zoom value equivalent to the 7 inch specs just so I got an idea of what the images would actually look like printed at 7 x 7in - that was done simply by putting an actual ruler up against the screen, zooming the AR canvas until it matched the appropriate value on the ruler, then memorising the zoom value. That way I could just input that zoom value to check the 'real world' size as I painted.
    Cheers.
