Setting the image resolution early ensures that your project  will come out looking the best that it can be. We recommend that your  images be prepared at 300 dpi when they are at the actual size that they  are going to be used in your design. For example, if you are going to  have a photo on your postcard at six inches wide and four inches tall,  then the image should be set at 300 dpi (or higher) at that actual 6\u2033 x  4\u2033 size. If your photo is only at 72 dpi (for example) at the 6\u2033 x 4\u2033  size, then the quality of the photo will not be very good and will  appear slightly blurry and\/or jagged on the final printed piece.<\/p>\n<p>Images that were used on the Internet, are usually set at only 72 dpi  because of two important reasons. One is that computer monitor  resolution is around 72 dpi, so that size is perfect for viewing. The  second is that a lower dpi setting makes the image smaller in memory and  works on the Internet faster and more efficiently. It is not a good  idea to take images right off the Internet and then expect them to print  with very much quality.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, taking an image that has a low dpi and then  upsampling it to a higher resolution, is not a recommended method  either. Upsampling is using software to increase the dpi of an image. It  usually creates blurry images, ugly patches of color and high contrast  in images and the final result is not good for printing. The best way is  to start with good, high quality, high resolution images.<\/p>\n<p>Call us at 541-737-4941 if you have any questions about images and  resolution.
