Print dpi help

1

Hi all;
I am building a program in which the client can upload a photo and some text to
create a personalized gift card.
Is there a way to set/change the dpi say from 72dpi to 300dpi in flash?
The card printing company requires the following specs.

      **File Format: **
         **.TIF: **
     The file should be in .tif format saved with layers (.EPS, .PSD,   .PDF, .AI can also be 
         **SIZE WITH BLACK: **
     2.25" x 3.5" for bleed 
         **ACTUAL SIZE: **
     2.125" x 3.375" 
         **Color Mode: **
     CMYK 
         **DPI: **
     300 or higher for best print quality

I am at a loss on how I should go about this.
Help would be greatly apprecieated!!!:link:

Flash is not a print program, you will not get satisfactory results.

And flash doesn’t work with Tiff formats… or even CMYK mode. Flash is pure RGB.

I think you’ll be more succesfull with a server side solution, such as PHP, converting a Tiff to a JPG with a certain size, and then printing a dynamically generated PDF or something. PHP has a lot of modules for working with pictures and some other for creating PDFs on the fly.

When creating pdfs dynamically you have total control over the size of the document and you’re able to work in CMYK, control the bleed, etc.

Just an idea…
