What is a high-resolution image?
When designing digital images intended for lithographic printing, it is essential that all of the photographs and images in your in files are high resolution. If you have ever seen printed material that contains blurry, blocky or pixelated images, it was likely caused by using low resolution images. D.P.I. or Dots per Inch is the measurement used within the printing and graphics design industry to determine how sharp an image is. Web graphics are normally created at 72dpi . This low resolution is great for the web because the images look excellent on a computer monitor and the file sizes are very small which helps pages load faster. However, when designing graphics for commercial printing purposes, your images should be 300dpi which will ensure that the image looks sharp and clear when printed.
