DPI Explained...What is the Right Resolution for Print on Demand? 72 DPI, 150 DPI or 300 DPI?

What Resolution To Use for Print on Demand

In this video I explain the difference between DPI and PPI and what resolution is needed when you save a PNG for print on demand. I will show examples from apps like Kittl, Canva, Affinity Designer and more.

Thank you for the well informed and well thought out content sir. It is really a shame that some people are just so stuck in their false belief of something that they refuse to learn what is real. It is an even more shame that there are a ton of videos on youtube where people are spreading the wrong info, making it even more difficult for videos like yours to make the impact they should. Well done sir.

This video is to the point of this misunderstanding, which is also my misunderstanding too! Thank you for clearing it up! I use 4500x5400x300dpi for my designs and now I realize that the 300dpi it's not necessary! I believe 72dpi it's OK for so big dimensions!

Also, many POD sites are referring that we can upload our designs in RBG mode and not necessarily in CMYK, which is good for designers like me who use mainly Photoshop as the main application.

OMG… I have been searching high and low for this info… Cheers so much 🤗 Thanks for your other vids too.

Thanks a lot, Juna, for ending the confusion between ppi and dpi. Much appreciate!

[Krepi]

I was surprised when you showed a photo of Indonesian Balinese people doing prayer. Your explanation was very good Juna... I'm always waiting for your video Juna, Greetings of peace from Indonesia...

[loganperillo]

Thanks so much. I was always so confused about this.

[yuniartlin]

Thank you for make this video Juna ! ❤❤❤

So before all the computer graphics we still used pixels and dpi for graphics and printing. I had and think I still do a ruler that had pixels on one side for measurements. Dpi or resolution was a more difficult to measure and was done with a little Loupe with a measuring device on it.
Good videos Juna

[altair_ezio]

Thank u very much❤,
this thing was bothering me for long time

Min. 6:15 - Kittl will change the height from 10800 to 5400 when you confirm your 4500 width by hitting enter or tab.

[Just_Taneise]

Hi Juna, so basically the dpi should not matter if we set the designs to 4500 x 5400 each time we design?

[bettyeverett]

Good information Juna. I always format my images in Photoshop using the highest resolution and I use CMYK since it will ultimately be printed and printers read Cyan Megenta Yellow and Black. I am not sure I understand how they are converting files from RGB to CMYk. I have also read some reviews where the colors don't match on the actual final product. I haven't had any complaints on my products, as I am making sure it is always the same. Just wondering what your thoughts are on that. I also use the same settings for print CMYK when I export images from Canva to upload to Etsy.

Thank you so much for explaining this! 😁

[Kal-yz]

Thankyou so much for all your vids - they are always straight to the point and useful! Quick question that I'm sure many beginners like me have: how do you decide which images to vectorise and which to just upscale - before uploading to POD site (e.g Printful)?
I understand more complex images maybe cannot be vectorised, but what about fairly simple images from Midjourney?
My concern is that when I vectorise my images the 'look' of the original changes (naturally). If I am able to upscale using online software (without vectorising) to the sizes required by POD platforms will they print just fine?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[ArtprintbyGissell]

Does this also apply to printful? Thanks a lot for your videos?

[EmilyB]

Simplified Version:
72dpi printing will be pixelated.
300dpi printing will be sharp.
72dpi photo scaled to 300dpi with photoshop (RESAMPLE) printing sill be blurry.

When you design something for printing keep it in inch with 300dpi.

[iwwellington]

Thanks for the video! So as long as the pixels are at 6000 x 8000 with 300dpi the image will print just fine? Even if it looks a little pixelated on my computer screen?
