Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best DPI for printing?

The industry standard for high-quality commercial printing is 300 DPI (dots per inch). This ensures fine details, sharp lines, and vivid color transitions without visible pixel distortion.

How do aspect ratios affect my print size?

An aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between an image’s width and height (e.g., 4:3 or 3:2). If your digital photo’s aspect ratio does not match the frame ratio (like a 4×5 ratio for an 8″x10″ print), portions of your image may need to be cropped or printed with white borders to fit without stretching.

How do I calculate shipping costs for heavy print orders?

Planning a bulk paper order or heavy poster run? Use our Print Shipping Weight Calculator to estimate package freight weights before placing your order.

Can this tool check PDF artwork files?

Yes. Our calculator reads standard PDF documents along with standard image formats to evaluate full-page dimensions and aspect ratios before your files go to press.
