What is the difference between print resolution and screen resolution?
Standard print resolution is 300dpi. That means a printer needs a 300dpi file to print an image without pixelization. Screen resolution is 72dpi, which means a computer screen needs a 72dpi file to make a good visual representation. IMPORTANT: Screen resolution files (such as images on a website) have only 20% the image information they need to be printed. So something that appears postcard-size on a website would actually print as postage stamp-size. Remember this when trying to use files from digital cameras or internet images. A file designed specifically for web (screen) use cannot be easily adapted for print use.
