What resolution do I need for a 11×17 print?

Know your dimensions: You want your image to be 300 dpi at the desired dimensions in your project. So if your image is going to be an 11×17 inch spread, then your image needs to be 300 dpi at 11×17 inches. This would make the pixel dimension be 5100 x 3300.

What is a good pixel size for printing?

The more pixels per inch, the finer the detail in the print will be and the sharper it will look. Probably the minimum value for reasonable print quality is 180 ppi. For a better image you can go to 240ppi and for the best quality you may have to go to 300ppi.

What is the minimum recommended pixel resolution for a printable image?

300 pixels/inch
The generally accepted value is 300 pixels/inch. Printing an image at a resolution of 300 pixels/inch squeezes the pixels in close enough together to keep everything looking sharp. In fact, 300 is usually a bit more than you need.

Resolution is how many pixels the monitor can display at a given time. The smallest resolution Windows supports is 640×480 pixels (meaning 640 dots horizontally by 480 vertically). Better video cards and monitors are capable of much higher resolutions. The standard resolution used today is 1024×768.

What is printable resolution?

Print Resolution Print resolution is measured in dots per inch (or “DPI”) which means the number of dots of ink per inch that a printer deposits on a piece of paper. So, 300 DPI means that a printer will output 300 tiny dots of ink to fill every inch of the print.
