Along with that, you should dumb it down a bit....PPI of your image only really has to equal what DPI the printer is capable of.

Example: I could send a 1920x1280 30MB, 300 DPI to wal-mart and get a shitty print.

Chose your print sites carefully.

I wrote a tutorial on how I did it on another site, and I was going to link you to it but you have to be a registered member to view it.

Its really simple, far less complex than the car shoots I've been doing in the past few months that actually made it to print. Maybe I should make a thread here with the tutorial? Might be a good thread to start and get stickied for us all to chime in with tips and stuff.
