Frequently Asked Questions
What DPI is needed for high-quality printing?
A common standard for high-quality print output is 300 DPI, though large-format prints viewed from a distance, such as posters or banners, can often look acceptable at significantly lower DPI values.
What is the difference between DPI and PPI?
PPI, pixels per inch, technically describes digital image resolution, while DPI, dots per inch, describes a printer physical output resolution — the terms are often used interchangeably in casual design conversation.
What happens if my DPI is too low for printing?
Printing at a DPI that is too low results in a visibly pixelated or blurry image, since the printer does not have enough image data to render fine detail at that physical size.
