Commercial
Printing Information (CPI).
Commercial Printing
Information is at present a
Free tool.
What does it
do and do I need it. CPI will
parse a picture file (jpg, bmp,
gif and png) to gather information
from the picture ie width &
height, from this it works out
what is the maxium size your
image will print at, at a given
dpi plus the sort of file size
that is needed. Do you need
CPI it's up to you! If you supply
images to magazines you will
want to know what is the largest
size your image can be printed
at without degredation to the
image. Most magazine reprographic
departments would like you to
supply your images at the maxium
size and dpi that they use.
So if CPI says your image can
go to say 23cm wide @ 300 dpi
you should open your image and
resize it to this have a look
and then save.
CPI should be
able to run on Windows version
XP and NT but for 95,98,ME you
may have to download the Visual
Basic runtime files from here.
VBRun60.exe is a self-extracting
executable file that installs
the Microsoft Visual Basic run-time
files that all applications
created with Visual Basic 6.0
need in order to run. If you
prefer you can see the article
at Microsoft
Knowledge Base
The information
that CPI gives is for guidence
it should not be used as gospel.
