Whats the difference between resolution, DPI, and PPI?
Resolution determines how much detail is printed onto the final product. Resolution is just another word for how many microscopic dots, or pixels, there are in your image. All “digital” computer images are made up of pixels. The term PPI stands for “pixels per inch” and is a measure of how many pixels there are in one square inch of your image. The higher the PPI, the higher the resolution and thus the better your image will look on the printed product. DPI stands for “dots per inch” and is very similar to pixels per inch. For our purposes, these two terms are essentially the same. What size/resolution works best? Although a low-resolution and high-resolution image might look the same on your computer screen, there will be a big difference between the two images when they are actually printed onto one of our products. This is true because most computer monitors can only display 72 PPI (pixels per inch) while printers can print between 300 – 600 PPI. We recommend designing your images a
