If viewed at 30 feet 260 ppi would be overkill. If viewed at 6 feet or less
260ppi might be enough but likely not. Viewing distance matters.
If the 100cm x 80cm image was intended for up close viewing, say three feet,
more like 300 ppi might be advisable.
Saying that he generated a 100cm x 80cm image means not much unless there is
some indication of the level of detail that is evident from whatever viewing
distance is chosen.
