72dpi to 300dpi ahahah

[swisscad]

so I have this client saying that his renders all come out at 72dpi..he wants 300dpi... thats a classic.. he doesn't need 300dpi he just goes with what he's been supposedly told..
anyway I am not going to educate him as he is quite stubborn

okay stop me if I am wrong:
he want a final out of 20cm x 30cm .. yeah metrics
so here is the procedure.. I think
1 inch =25.4 mm so 2.54 cm

20 cm = 7.87 inch
30cm= 11.81 inch

multiply inch by dpi
7.87x300= 2361
11.81x300= 3543

so his render should be
2361x3543

Vray Options set to very hight

Done... right?

is there something else I am missing?

Thankx

Looks ok.

Last I found this german page with a table of the main resolutions:

Yup. DPI is just an indication to what the printed should be.

Every time someone ask me to "send an image in 300DPI" I sigh. Doesn't help me much knowing the DPI if I don't know the target size...
