The working
Pixels are inches multiplied by the resolution.
- Width: 8 in × 150 = 1,200, which rounds to 1200 pixels.
- Height: 10 in × 150 = 1,500, which rounds to 1500 pixels.
Bleed is extra image past the trim line, so that a cut that lands slightly off still leaves ink to the edge. Print shops usually ask for 0.125 in on every side of a US size, which makes the file 1238 × 1538 pixels.
