What embedded resolution should I use to print an image?
The chart below illustrates how embedded resolution affects the printed dimensions of an image:
Pixel dimensions | Image resolution | Printed size |
|
|
|
640 x 480 | 72 ppi | 8.89" x 6.67" |
| 300 ppi | 2.13" x 1.60" |
|
|
|
800 x 600 | 72 ppi | 11.11" x 8.33" |
| 300 ppi | 2.67" x 2.00" |
|
|
|
1024 x 768 | 72 ppi | 14.22" x 10.67" |
| 300 ppi | 3.41" x 2.56" |
|
|
|
1280 x 960 | 72 ppi | 17.78" x 13.33" |
| 300 ppi | 4.27" x 3.20" |
|
|
|
1600 x 1200 | 72 ppi | 22.22" x 16.67" |
| 300 ppi | 5.33" x 4.00" |
|
|
|
2400 x 1600 | 72 ppi | 33.33" x 22.22" |
| 300 ppi | 8.00" x 5.33" |

Given the same number of pixels, a higher embedded resolution shrinks the final printed output.
