What size can it print?

The usable print size depends on how many pixels the museum's image has. We counted them, then tested standard poster sizes for sharpness and cropping.

ppi means pixels per inch at that print size; 150 or more is our sharpness bar. Cropping is the share of the image trimmed to fill a standard poster shape. Computed from the pixel counts, not estimated by eye. Sizes are standard poster sizes and are checked against the print provider's real list before any print is offered.
