Improve the quality of printed iPhoto books
Authored by: tripleman on Jul 20, '05 11:40:55AM

It's really much simpler than these comments would lead you to believe. At 150 dpi, you will start to see a "blockier" printed image. 300 dpi would make for an image that maintains the smoothness of image details. We've all seen what an image that is 72 dpi prints like - a screenshot of a web page for example - the blocks are quite pronounced. Going from 300 dpi down to 150 dpi takes you halfway down to that very blocky 72 dpi image with predictable results.

I work for a printing company and it's really that simple to get decent printed images. Other factors like lpi are important for absolute peak print quality but for something like this, it's not that big a deal.
