The working
Pixels are inches multiplied by the resolution.
- Width: 8 in × 600 = 4,800, which rounds to 4800 pixels.
- Height: 10 in × 600 = 6,000, which rounds to 6000 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 4950 × 6150 pixels.
Is your photo big enough?
To fill 8 × 10 inch photo at 600 DPI an image needs at least 4800 × 6000 pixels. Cropped to fill the sheet:
- A 12 megapixel phone photo (4000 × 3000) gives 375 DPI: short of 600, so it would be upscaled or printed softer.
- A 24 megapixel camera photo (6000 × 4000) gives 500 DPI: short of 600, so it would be upscaled or printed softer.
- A 48 megapixel photo (8000 × 6000) gives 750 DPI: enough.
At 600 DPI the pixels of a print blend together from about 5.7 inches (15 cm) away. 600 DPI is used for line art, small text and scans that will be enlarged. It is also the native resolution of many office laser printers.
