: What Resolution Do I need for A Massive Company Sign in Photoshop? I'm making a flat company sign for outside our building and the sizes are: Left Sign: (Width) 8.0 Meters x 0.850M (Length)

This kind of job is typically processed via Adobe Illustrator (AI), since that can scale up a couple of centimeters of artwork without any loss of quality and without worrying about the resolution. So if this is about creating a completely new artwork and you have AI available, i suggest you use AI.

If you are already reusing parts from other artwork previously made in Photoshop (PS) and/or only have PS to work with and/or your artwork needs to use raster images (photos, etc) your best bet is to take the print providers' advice and make it really big.

Try making it 50% smaller so instead of 8x0.85 make it 4x0.42 at 300 dpi. With artwork this big you assume people will not inspect these from close distance, so printing a 50% scaled down version is usual. You might want to re-confirm this with your printer however, just to make sure they agree.
