The working
Pixels are inches multiplied by the resolution, and an inch is 25.4 mm.
- Width: 841 mm ÷ 25.4 = 33.11 in; 33.11 in × 300 = 9,933.1, which rounds to 9933 pixels.
- Height: 1189 mm ÷ 25.4 = 46.811 in; 46.811 in × 300 = 14,043.3, which rounds to 14043 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 3 mm on every side of an A-series page, which makes the file 10004 × 14114 pixels.
Is your photo big enough?
To fill A0 at 300 DPI an image needs at least 9933 × 14043 pixels. Cropped to fill the sheet:
- A 12 megapixel phone photo (4000 × 3000) gives 85 DPI: short of 300, so it would be upscaled or printed softer.
- A 24 megapixel camera photo (6000 × 4000) gives 121 DPI: short of 300, so it would be upscaled or printed softer.
- A 48 megapixel photo (8000 × 6000) gives 171 DPI: short of 300, so it would be upscaled or printed softer.
At 300 DPI the pixels of a print blend together from about 11.5 inches (29 cm) away. 300 DPI is the standard for print that is held in the hand: books, magazines, photo prints, business cards and flyers. At reading distance the eye can no longer pick out the pixels.
