We recently provided artwork for a display in our reception foyer. The final print is about 3m x 4m so larger than your 8' x 11'. The original image that I provided was 3000 x 2500 ( a montage of many individual images - the original object is about 1 cm square and we used a 10x objective, 15 images @ 1024x1024). At 300 dpi that is about 25 x 19 cm so the image must have been interpolated quite considerably if it was actually printed at 300 dpi. The end result is however spectacular - no visible pixilation. My suggestion would be to go for a big image with a lot of fine detail.

Hi All,
I'm trying to wrap my head around this, but it's taking way longer than it
should, so I'm just going to expose my ineptness in this subject and ask.
I need "high res" images to turn into wall art. 300 dpi is the number I've
been given.
I'm trying to make a contest out of this in the department, but I don't
know what resolution image I have to ask for, ie how big the pixel should
be?
I'm sure the size of the ultimate "art" is important, but let's say it's
going to be an 8' x 11' print.
Little help please? Thank you.
