Tips for Good Prints

When printing images at large sizes, achieving a clear print can be more complicated than when printing small images. Here are some simple tips that will help you avoid bad prints.

• Use the original image file if possible. Images downloaded from social media sites like Facebook or Twitter, for example, have been downsized for those services. They will not print as clearly as the original photos.
• Generally, the larger the file size, the higher quality the image. For example, a photograph that is 500kb will most likely not look as sharp as one that is 10mb. 
• A photo cannot be enlarged without losing quality. Staff can resize photos, but if scaled up too far, the photo will become blurry.
• More pixels mean a bigger image. Knowing your image's dimensions in pixels will give you a sense of how large it will print without blurring. For example, because we print images at 300 pixels per inch, an image that is 10,800 pixels wide will print clearly at 36” wide.
