When printing pictures or graphic images the resolution needs to be at the very least 300dpi. An image or picture found on the internet is sized for screen viewing at 72dpi and will not be suitable for printing. Although a web graphic may look sharp on your screen, the printed product, especially when it comes to press printing will result in a pixelated or blurry image. It is a common misconception that you can use an image from your website to print on your brochure or business card.

Any image without enough resolution for print (such as a website graphic) will print pixelated or blurry, and of poor quality.

It is also important to ensure your digital camera is set to a high enough resolution when taking photos to be used for a print job.

As a general guide, a color photograph needs to be around 300dpi (dots per inch) at 100% actual size used for printing.

If the original image is of low resolution, re-sampling up to a higher resolution will not fix the quality and resolution. It is important that the original settings on your scanner or camera are set to a high resolution.Full color digital photos need to be saved at a minimum of 300dpi when saved at 100% actual size.

Scans and digital photos must be created at the above mentioned resolution, re-sampling to a higher resolution an image will not increase the quality, in the contrary, the image will lose quality. The only way the resolution may be increased at a later stage, in some cases, is if the image is originally much larger than the actual size required.
