What should be the minimum resolution of my data?

When it comes to printing, the minimum resolution you should aim for is 300 dpi (dots per inch). Based on our experience, we always request files for print jobs at 300 dpi. Anything less than that usually results in blurry or pixelated prints, which can make your final product look unprofessional.

If you’re preparing images or documents for print—whether it’s flyers, posters, or business cards—make sure your files are set to at least 300 dpi at the actual size they’ll be printed. This ensures sharpness and clarity. For web use, a lower resolution like 72 dpi is fine since screens don’t require as much detail.

So, if you want high-quality printed materials, stick with 300 dpi as your minimum resolution!
