It's possibly already the most downloaded blank front-cover ever. :-)

There's no dpi figure listed in the metadata (the LizardTech viewer has a 
display-attached-information button in the top right), but I can confirm 
that the compression ratio chosen was (as I predicted) 18:1, which should 
give excellent quality.

BTW, MrSID is a wavelet compressor, which (in a nutshell) means that we 
shouldn't get any "blocking artefacts" (as in JPEG, which compresses 
pictures by dividing them into a grid of smaller blocks, but whose edges 
can sometimes visibly mismatch).

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling......
