Print 101: PPI is Density.
PPI (Pixels Per Inch) defines how many pixels fit into one inch. High PPI = many small pixels (sharp image). Low PPI = fewer, larger pixels (blurry image). Higher density is essential for print clarity!

PRINT 101: PIXELS
A pixel is the smallest square unit of detail in an image. To achieve high detail, you need a high count of pixels. Pixels alone do not define the physical size of your printed piece—that requires a DPI/PPI value to set the density.

Print 101: The Resolution Equation Designers Need.
To avoid blurry prints, you must know the required pixel count:
Resolution = Print Size (in) × Target DPI
A 5x7 image at 300 DPI requires 1500x2100 px. Don't scale up files that don't meet this minimum!

PRINT PRO TIP
Your PMS color looks different based on the paper! The Coated guide shows the color on glossy stock (crisper). The Uncoated guide shows the color on absorbent stock (softer).
Same formula, different result. Always check both guides!

Why is US letter paper 8.5" x 11"? 🤔
The size was officially adopted as a US nat'l standard by the ANSI in the 1920s, and President Reagan reinforced it for government use in the 80s! It's a key piece of print history.
