Resolution Guide

DPI is viewing-distance dependent.

300 DPI is a common target for close-viewed commercial print. Large-format graphics viewed from farther away can often work at lower effective resolution.

300+

Excellent

Strong target for most close-viewed brochures, cards, flyers and similar print.

200–299

Good

Often acceptable, depending on image detail, print method and viewing distance.

150–199

Fair

Can work for larger pieces or farther viewing, but inspect the actual artwork carefully.

<150

Low

May appear visibly soft or pixelated when viewed closely.
