I should know better but...

I like Qimage and have been able to print some very large banner images that look great at relatively low resolution.

I am using a Mac Pro and an epson 7800 printer.  recently I am also using Bonzai3d -3d modeling software where my work is authored.  Then I am using Qimage to print out to my 7800 through my windows xp in the studio.

The question is: Should I render and save my original image -out of Bonzai3d- as a 300 dpi image at actuall size -for instance 20x16 inches making a very large file but a file that contains a lot of information. Or should I make the image 16x20 inches at 72dpi? which makes a small file, quick to work with/print but shows some small pixel artifacts and may not contain all the colour depth and richness seen on screen. I know Qimage is amazing but am I asking it to do work that I should be doing ie setting up the optimum printable file.... I would really appreciate guidance on this issue.

Hi all, I have been told by Fotospeed UK that Qimage has profiles for their papers. I am using an Epson 7800 with ultrachome inks. The paper is fotospeed FS Ultra Matt 240gms. Does anyone know where this profile is in Qimage and how to use it for printing. I have had a look at the profiles in Qimage but I can't figure out what they are. Any help greatly appreciated.
