Resolution Requirements For High Quality Prints
We print at 300dpi. To calculate the resolution you can print at take the pixels and divide by 300 in both directions to give you the maximum print size you can print at. For example if your image is 2,400×3,000 pixels you would divide 2,400 by 300 and 3,000 by 300 and you would get with 8×10 which is the maximum size you can print this image at.
