100 Things That Are Fabulous - Day 5
Enlargement Prints Cheat Sheet
Ever sat there looking at a photo wondering what the largest prints you can order is without loosing print quality?  Wonder no longer, below is the suggested (minimum) file sizes as per Kodak for prints!  I love this cheat sheet, makes it easy to decide on a size and if you are looking for something specific for a wall in your home or office; now you know exactly the minimum resolution you should use!

Some professional services specify lower resolutions for image sizes, so you could get away with smaller image sizes but always remember.....the larger the file the better quality the print!

Kodak, for example, suggests these resolution/file sizes:
For a 4" x 6" print, the image resolution should be 640 x 480 pixels minimum.
For a 5" x 7" print, the image resolution should be 1024 x 768 pixels minimum.
For an 8" x 10" print, the image resolution should be 1536 x 1024 pixels minimum.
For a 16" x 20" print, the image resolution should be 1600 x 1200 pixels minimum.
For a 20" x 30" print, the image resolution should be 1600 x 1200 pixels minimum.
For a Wallet-size print, the image resolution should be 320 x 240 pixels minimum.
