What is a good resolution for a printer?
300 PPI is the optimal printing resolution for digital printing presses. This issue applies to all print products, from small products like business cards and postcards to larger products like booklet printing and a pocket folder. Designing a file in lower than 300 PPI will lead to blurriness and pixellation.
What is high resolution printing?
High resolution for print is defined as 300-350 dots per inch (DPI) at the final output size. Files with resolutions higher than 350 dpi are ok to send for print, but not necessary, and the higher resolution will not improve the printed quality of your project.

What size is high resolution?
Hi-res images are at least 300 pixels per inch (ppi). This resolution makes for good print quality, and is pretty much a requirement for anything that you want hard copies of, especially to represent your brand or other important printed materials.
What is the highest printer resolution?
High resolution is typically considered 1920 x 1080 or higher, which is also referred to as “high definition” or HD. The same concept holds true for printers. While a resolution of 600 x 300 DPI used to be considered high resolution, many modern printers do not even support that low of a resolution.
How does the resolution affect a printer’s quality?
Given a printer with good XY resolution and a model with intricate features and many diagonal edges, dialing down the thickness of the layers will yield a much better model. In addition, if that model is short (200 or fewer layers) upping the Z-axis resolution can really improve the quality.
What is the measurement used to indicate printer resolution?
Printer resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi) and refers to the smallest size dot a printing device can print. Generally, the more dots per inch, the finer the printed output you’ll get.
What is the best DPI for a laser printer?
They say that 2400 DPI is better than 1200 DPI, 600 DPI better than 300 DPI and so on. However when they mention that a printer supports: 600 x 600 DPI, 1200 x 600 DPI, 1200 x 1200 DPI, 2400 x 1200 DPI, 2400 x 2400 DPI I get a bit more confused.
