Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels are in 1 inch?
At standard 300 DPI print quality, 1 inch equals 300 pixels. At standard screen resolution (72 PPI), 1 inch equals 72 pixels.
Why is 300 DPI the print standard?
At a standard reading distance (30–40 cm), the human eye cannot distinguish individual ink droplets above 300 DPI, yielding crisp, photo-grade clarity.
