Inkscape is great! I have just spent two weeks as a newbie user of Inkscape finishing a design project. I could not be happier with the program: everything I tried to do worked great. Thanks to all the developers and to everyone who has written manuals and tutorials.<div>
<br></div><div>I want to export files at the best possible resolution for sharing or viewing,</div><div><br></div><div>-- what  save-as format should I select?</div><div>-- what options should I select or designate in the second stage dialog window?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here is what I&#39;ve tried so far.</div><div>For quick views and email, I export a png file (small and adequate).</div><div>For high resolution views, I&#39;ve tried pdf, ps, and eps. In particular I don&#39;t know what setting to specify for &quot;Resolution for rasterization (dpi).&quot; Do I want Postscript level 2 or level 3?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have the same question regarding high resolution printing. In the print dialogue window, I have the option of selection print resolution. Does this vary with the attached printer? I am offered the option of 120 x120, 360 x 360, or 720 x 720 dpi.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here are my intended purposes:</div><div>I print images at home on an inkjet printer (available resolution 600 x 600).</div><div>I print on a laser printer (available resolutions 1200 x 1200).</div><div>
I send print jobs to a printer for posters (unknown resolution but big final output).</div><div>I share proofs of my work via pdf.</div><div>I incorporate images into LaTeX documents.</div><div>I am making an animated film digitally in Inkscape. I save each frame as a pdf, open in Apple Preview, save as a jpg, and then open in movie editing software and edit frame by frame.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have spent a lot of time looking through the manuals, tutorials, and archives. I have not found the discussion I am looking for in regard to print and output quality and resolution.</div><div><br></div>
<div>I assume that I should set my image dimensions to desired final dimensions. But how do screen pixels ppi relate to print resolution dpi? My monitor (iMac 27 inch display) is approximately 109 ppi.</div><div><br></div>
<div>I&#39;d love to hear the theory behind all these decisions, but if an Inkscape expert just wants to tell me what to do, that&#39;d be great.</div><div><br></div><div>TIA,</div><div><br></div><div>Jeremiah</div>
