: Setting an Illustrator file to 120ppi So I need to make some panels for one of those 4-panel stand-up convention displays and the template specs they gave me are clear about the bleed/trim
So I need to make some panels for one of those 4-panel stand-up convention displays and the template specs they gave me are clear about the bleed/trim and basic stuff, but it says "Resolution must be 100-120ppi" which has me confused.
My question is, where can I set it to 120ppi in Illustrator since the only raster effects options I see available are for 300, 150, and 72ppi? Also personally I've never done anything below 150, I thought that at sizes of like 76"x12.7"+ at below 150 you're not really getting as much bang for your buck resolution wise.
So hoping someone can set me straight. Thanks!

Illustrator is a vector illustration tool. Vector files are resolution agnostic--meaning a ppi resolution is irrelevant in this case.
Send them the .ai files or a PDF created from the .ai file and that should be fine.
If you are using raster effects, then set them to 150. No harm in going a bit higher than the spec.
Remember that large format printing doesn't typically need a high resolution as people are looking at it from a distance.
Vendors typically have specs like this to avoid the typical "person sends a word file with a few GIFs pasted form the web" annoyances.
