Print 101: Continuous Tone Art vs. Line Art.
Continuous Tone Art (photos/shades) must be translated into dots for print. Line Art (no shades) prints as solid ink. This fundamental difference drives press handling!

Print 101: LPI (Lines Per Inch) 📰
Presses only print solid ink. To create a tint, we use the Line Screen (LPI)—the number of halftone dots per inch. Higher LPI means dots are closer, reproducing smooth shades and high-detail gradients.

PRINT 101: PIXELS
A pixel is the smallest square unit of detail in an image. To achieve high detail, you need a high count of pixels. Pixels alone do not define the physical size of your printed piece—that requires a DPI/PPI value to set the density.

Resolution = Print Size (in) × Target DPI
A 5x7 image at 300 DPI requires 1500x2100 px. Don't scale up files that don't meet this minimum!
