Real World Genuine Fractals

It's great to hear success stories from people using our products and when I heard this one, I really wanted to share it with you. We recently launched a customer survey and as part of it, we asked people to contact us if they had anything additional to say.
Mark Francis, a prosumer photographer, sent us an email with the following story about his experience with Genuine Fractals.
"I wanted to let you know that I first used your product Genuine Fractals after an online review suggested it for upsizing photos. I was hired to photograph a downtown landscape for a wall mural that would be hung in a new bank in town. I needed to have a final print around 7 ft by 14 ft. I used Genuine Fractals and successfully created an 89 inch by 173 inch photo. I am a prosumer photographer that was using a Canon 40D."
The native resolution of the Canon 40D is 3888 x 2592 pixels which at 200 dpi will yield a 13 x 19 inch print. Going up to 89 x 173 inches is a little over 900 percent! Here's the photo of the shot Mark took installed at the bank.

If you've got a Genuine Fractals story you'd like to share. Use the contact form to tell me about it and I'll feature it here on the blog.
Great photo which has given me the inspiration for something similar in our local school.
How many prints were required to get the final image. I presume you cannot print a 7ft x 14ft image or am I wrong?
I believe it’s a single print. There are specialty print shops in most major cities that can print this large as a single image.
Hello ,
I have a small (maybe even stupid question).
At what dpi has the photo been printed ?
The same as the original size ( 200dpi) or higher.
tnx very much

No ot stupid at all.
Usually when working at very large sizes the resolution will not need to be as high as the original if its 300dpi . It is very rare that you need to view large murals close up so you are okay providing the large format printers with a 125dpi resolution… yes if you look close up the dots are apparrent but that’s normal at this res (125dpi).
300 dpi is for magazine litho quality.
Hope that helps

I work with a company in Orlando FL, Triangle Reprographics. We have equipment that can print on a variety of substrates at very high resolutions. We can print wallpaper, large boards (directly on foamcore and gatorboard as well as dibond and plexi). One of our printers can print up to 16 feet wide and various lengths. We ship worldwide.
email or call me at 407-488-0140 if you would like additional information.

Was your blow-up printed on a photographic support, or a lithograph? Was the file submitted an RGB
Thanks
Sick of obtaining low amounts of useless visitors for your website? Well i wish to tell you about a brand new underground tactic that makes me personally $900 daily on 100% AUTOPILOT. I could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you simply check their site out? There is really a excellent video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in making simple hard cash this is the site for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche
