Print & paper

Paper sizes, pixels to print, bleed, dpi.

What it does

Paper sizes, the pixels you need to print them, bleed and safe area.

dpi: dots per inch. 300 dpi for a photo or a flyer seen up close; 150 dpi is enough for a poster seen from a meter away; a huge banner can go much lower.
Bleed: the image goes 3 mm beyond the trim on each side, so no white edge shows after cutting. Keep text and logos inside the safe area (3 mm inside the trim). Ask your printer: some want 2 or 5 mm.
Paper weight (rough guide): 80 g office paper; 115 to 170 g flyers and posters; 250 to 350 g business cards, covers and postcards.
Printers print in CMYK: very saturated screen colors (bright greens, oranges, blues) can look duller on paper.
For pixel sizes of screens and video, see the Resolution tool.
