Viewing distance & quality

Why does resolution change with size?

The file is the same at every size. Print it larger and the same pixels spread over more paper, so the dots per inch (DPI) go down.

But nobody looks at a large print up close. An A3 is enjoyed from half a metre, almost in hand; an A1 on the wall is seen from a metre and a half or more.

The further away you stand, the less detail the eye can resolve. That is why 150 DPI on an A1, at the right distance, looks just as perfect as 300 DPI on an A3 held in your hands.

The rule of thumb: the bigger the print, one step back.

A3: 300 DPI; 0.5 m
A2: ~210 DPI; 0.8 m
70 × 50: ~180 DPI; 1 m
A1: ~150 DPI; 1.5 m
