To prepare images for printing, set the resolution to 300 DPI. If you are preparing images for printing, you may need to set a specific resolution such as 300 dpi. A US Letter sized paper at 300 DPI (8 1/2" x 11") requires an image of 2550 x 3300 pixels, much larger than most computer displays. A fullscreen capture printed at 300 DPI (4 1/4" x 2 2/3") is much smaller than the physical dimensions of the screen. A standard print resolution for a letter-sized page is 300 DPI.Īn example of this is a 13" MacBook Pro that has a screen size of 1280 x 800 pixels. Older computer screens are between 72 or 96 DPI range, while modern LCD screens are between the 120-140 DPI range. Most displays have a lower DPI than a printed page. The result is known as DPI (Dots per inch). When an image is printed, those pixels are divided across the print area that are measured in inches.

Images are clear in the Editor, but are blurry when printed.
