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 × 600 = 19,866.1, which rounds to 19866 pixels.
- Height: 1189 mm ÷ 25.4 = 46.811 in; 46.811 in × 600 = 28,086.6, which rounds to 28087 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 20008 × 28228 pixels.
Is your photo big enough?
To fill A0 at 600 DPI an image needs at least 19866 × 28087 pixels. Cropped to fill the sheet:
- A 12 megapixel phone photo (4000 × 3000) gives 85 DPI: short of 600, so it would be upscaled or printed softer.
- A 24 megapixel camera photo (6000 × 4000) gives 121 DPI: short of 600, so it would be upscaled or printed softer.
- A 48 megapixel photo (8000 × 6000) gives 171 DPI: short of 600, so it would be upscaled or printed softer.
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.
