Resolution is the measurement of how many dots/pixels fit into one inch. The higher resolution, the sharper the image will be. Lower resolution images appear fuzzy, jagged and blurry.
Recommended minimum resolution for printing is 300 dpi; computer monitors generally have a display setting of 72 dpi. If we indicate that some of your images have low resolution, they may not look bad on your monitor but will likely print blurry or jagged.
Things to avoid:
• Web images are predominately low resolution (72-96 dpi) GIF or JPEG files. This resolution is good for quick transmission over the internet, but is not acceptable for use in printing. Do not save images or graphics from a website to use in your print project.
• Upsampling is when a low resolution image is saved to a higher resolution with no changes in dimensions. Upsampling adds more pixels or dots per inch (dpi), but creates blurry images, ugly blocks of color, and high contrast in images. The only way resolution can be improved is by decreasing the image size, or by recapturing the image at a higher quality setting.
