Resolution for Print & Image Sizing
Not
long ago I worked with a photographer who shot with an expensive
digital back. The images were extremely detailed and large. Too bad the
same could not be said for the prints, which were quite soft and
pixelated. What went wrong? All the pictures were set to about 100 dpi
in post production. Large, 20x30, prints were made from small 8x10
files. I hope this does not happen to you.

Quick Tips
- Calibrate your monitor to our printers before you send an order.
- Ensure that you work within the same color space across the board.
- Ensure the the color profile is embedded (but don't embed our printer profile).
- Image size and resolution should complement each other.
- The resolution should be set to 300 pixels/inch.
- Use the Image Size panel in Photoshop to control the quality/size of your images.
- Don't use small size images for very big print sizes.
- For big prints, increase the size incrementally in Photoshop.
- Sharpen your images in the end.
