| Image Type | Minimum Resolution | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Color / Grayscale photographs | 300 DPI | At desired print size |
| Black-and-white images | 500 DPI | At desired print size |
| Line art (graphs, diagrams) | 1,000 DPI | At desired print size |
IMPORTANT: All resolution measurements are at the desired print size, not at full-page size.
