Pixel\Dpi Suggestion

Chris et all,

What pixels\dpi combination would you recommend for a 24x36 inch board that will be printed on a HP500 for a conference room presentation?

Thanks!

I usually go to 150 ppi for Designjets. Any more than that won't do much.

We have an HP DesignJet 5500. When I requested information regarding the same issue from HP they said that 200 is as high as one would want to go but that 150 was probably the sweet spot for quality / file size / RIP time.

I have never seen any point in going above 150 DPI... hell many of times I don't even go above 100, but usually that is more because I don't have the time to render at a higher-rez.
