300dpi at whatever physical size you want. Printing at 1 inch x 1 inch? 300px x 300px.

- cpach 7y agoHm. Is 300 dpi sufficient? Sounds a little low to me but I could be wrong. And then I guess one has to ”clean” the scanned image quite a bit in order to get good results. It also would be really cool if one could ”carve” the lines to the paper. Might be possible with a plotter and the right kind of stylus. A while a go I bought an artwork that actually was cut out from an issue of Harpers’ Magazine c:a 1860 or so. One thing that’s really cool about that line art is that the printing technique made the lines embossed to the paper. Beautiful!
- shakna 7y ago300dpi is typical for most things that go from graphic designer to professional printer. It should be sufficient for most things. If you're looking for a way to turn a bitmap into a vector type thing, for a plotter or laser or so on, then potrace or the bitmap->vector converter inside Inkscape should be able to do it. They work well for line art.
- cpach 7y agoGreat, thanks for the advice!
