How many pixels do I need?

Here are some guidelines to optimize your prints:
4x6 - 800 x 1200 (200 dots per inch)
5x7 - 1000 x 1400 (200 dpi)
8x10 - 1600 x 2000 (200 dpi)
8x12 - 1600 x 2400 (200 dpi)
9x12 and up 2000 x 3000 from a 6 megapixel digital camera (200 dpi).

While we recommend 300 dpi for optimal clarity, 200 dpi will yield excellent results. The difference in print quality isn't noticeable to the naked eye. The difference is that a 200dpi file is 1/2 the file size, taking half the time to send to digidreamgrafix@gmail.com
