While Grand Image offers among the highest resolution (720 dpi) in the market for grand format dye sublimation printing, we also offer 360 -1440 dpi output for other types of printing. Choice among the four common types – 360 dpi, 600 dpi, 720 dpi, and 1000 dpi – should be based primarily on image quality and viewing distance.

Consider image quality prior to upgrading print resolution. Printing the file on high-resolution machines will not help if an image is soft or insufficiently high-res to output at 600 or 1000 dpi. Please see file preparation guidelines for proper file resolution.

If image quality meets the requirements, viewing distance should be the second consideration. Generally, the difference between 360 dpi and the higher res modes is hardly noticeable at viewing distances beyond 15 feet. Within 5 feet, the differences between 600 dpi and 1000 dpi can be seen. At this distance 1000 dpi will generate smoother flesh tones and provide more detail.
