Hey Guys,

I have to design a 96x52 inch banner for a trade show and i am working ini photoshop cs2. I need to know what dpi i should use? I will submit my artwork online to smart [exhibits.com](http://exhibits.com) and they said to save my image as a TIFF, CMYK, 100 ppi and image at 100%. Is this the correct way to save and send my banner for printing? If this is the correct way, how do i find images to place on my banner that are 1200 ppi? If i downloaded an image at 300 dpi and transfered it to my banner document i would have to scale it to the size that i want and it won’t come out looking pretty. Can someone please help me?
