What render Output size for quality 11x17 printing?

[danb4026]

In the max Print Size assistant it suggest to have an output size of 3400x2200 for a 200dpi. This takes forever to render at high quality render settings.

 

What size can I go to and still have a good final print?

 

Can I go to 2200x1424....can i get away with even smaller?

So it turns out that if you end your topic line with the word "print", it invokes a VB glitch that makes it assume anybody clicking on it wants the printer friendly version of the page, which is not reply-able. Your subject line has been edited to work around this.

 

Anyway. I've run renders that large but you don't really need more than 150DPI.
