The Document Size sections tells us how large or small the photo will print based on a specific resolution. The total number of pixels printed in every square inch of paper would then be, in this case anyway, 72 x 72 (72 pixels for the width times 72 pixels for the height), which gives us 5184 pixels!
What is the correct resolution for print documents?
300 ppi
For an image to print properly, the image should be saved at 300 ppi at the final printed size. * Your monitor displays between 72 and 96 ppi. To adequately view print resolution on a monitor, you should zoom in 400%. Never increase the total pixel dimension of raster image.
What resolution should a 12×12 print be?

Is 250 dpi OK for printing?
At the lower end of the scale, prints made with resolutions between 180 and 200 dpi may contain some artefacts in detailed areas but they probably won’t be visible in large prints at normal viewing distances. Above 250 dpi, images will be good enough to withstand scrutiny at normal viewing distances.
What resolution is good for 8×10 print?

What is the best image size for printing?
The dimension in pixels (Image Size) is the important detail for using any image. Around 300 pixels per inch is an optimum and proper printing goal for photographs.
What is the best DPI for photo prints?
Around 300 pixels per inch is an optimum and proper printing goal for photographs. 200 dpi can sometimes be acceptable printing quality, but more than 300 dpi is not of much use to printers (for color photos).
What is the best resolution for photo printing?
In general, for printing (not only of photos but also e.g. of newspapers or magazines), the ideal resolution is 300 DPI. But often you can also make do with a lower resolution. Most photo labs that use digital technology for printing (that is, not analog offset printing) can make do with a lower resolution.
What is the resolution of print?
Print Resolution is simply the level of detail in a printed image. Higher resolution means higher detail, and can be measured in dots per inch (DPI). The more dots (of ink) that are printed per inch, the higher the resolution of the image – therefore the higher the quality in terms of sharpness and detail.
