Export large artboards to PNG using high (300 dpi) resolution
Currently, files with large artboards (larger than 6535 px x 4730 px) can not be exported as a PNG with high resolution. The best is a medium resolution. My current project series requires a specific large artboard size (9075 px wide x 6201 px high exactly) and I would like to be able to export and then print them in high resolution to give my customers the best possible printed product. Illustrator does not currently support this, unfortunately.

When creating a web-intended document, Ai assumes it has a resolution of 72 ppi. Pixel is point in Postcript, and point is a physical unit, a 1/72 of an inch.
Changing the resolution in Ai when exporting always means resampling.
So if you create a 6535×4730 px document, and try to export it using 300 ppi, Ai would scale it up 4,16(6) times (300 / 72), treating it as a multiplier/coefficient, rather than an arbitrary value that gets written into the image — and it makes your 6535×4730 into 27229,16(6)×19708,3(3) px. This is far beyond the limit Ai has! And I’m not sure if you meant to do this.
Images for digital media care not about the resolution... And PNG was designed to Web. If you intend to create for printing — it’s better to use real-world units.I’d like to learn more about the workflow you had (have?)
Perhaps there’s a simpler solution to what you try to do.
