Can I use images taken from my digital camera on PrintBell products?
Bell: Digital cameras can be tricky. You must make sure that the camera is set at a high enough resolution to result in 300 dpi at the desired final print size. In other words, if your camera does not have a 300 dpi resolution setting, make sure the image size is large enough to enable shrink the image to the desired size at ~300 dpi (see the question on resolution) Most digital cameras present image sizes in pixels. So, for example, assume you start with an image size of 800 x 1200 pixels. Because you want the dots/ pixels per inch of at least 300, you can figure out the largest possible size of the final image by simply: 800 divided by 300 = 2.67 inches 1200 divided by 300 = 4.00 inches Therefore, the maximum possible dimensions for this image captured at 800 x 1200 pixels is 2.67 x 4.00 inches – at these dimensions (or lower), the image will print crisp ‘n’ clear. It is important to note that the resolution cannot be increased once the picture has already been clicked (other than by
