Theo Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Hi! I searched a lot but I found no answer. So that's the situation: I'm making a lego weebcomic in Photoshop, I chosed 610 x 610 pixels in order to fit any PC, laptop or netbook screen. Now, my problem is that if I try to print it, 610x610 seems to be too small. I mean in order to make it 20cm x 20cm I should make it about 80ppi which is too low and it will be very blury. Have you encountered the same problem? How is it possible to make a webcomic small enough for the screens but good enough for printing? Quote

Standard screen resolution is 72 dpi (if I remember correctly... it's low, anyway). Printing is usually minimum 150 dpi, but for good printing, 300 dpi is a good number. So, net images are not good for printing. I would suggest posting an image, with a link to a large size image for download. Good luck Quote

You should be working at a high resolution all the time anyway, and then export the file for the web at a lower resolution. If you work at a low resolution, when the time comes to print, you'll be frustrated. Quote
