Gemma Schaefer Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi Damien, This is my first time using your forum so I hope I am doing it all right? I am trying to create some double sided postcards (4x6) with information on regarding my referral program. It would just be text no photos. I made the front and back and was quite proud of myself until I uploaded them to print and was told the resolution is too low. I had created a new file as 4 x 6 since that was the size I wanted to print at. I tried again doubling the size (8 x 12 - I figured it would be the right ratio then) and it is still saying the res is too low. What am I doing wrong please? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Where are you printing this, and what is that printer's recommended minimum PPI? You'd have to make the file 4x6 at a given resolution -- the 4x6 is the right shape, but it isn't the right size (with the right number of pixels) unless you've set the resolution correctly. 4x6 at 300ppi (which is generally what print labs require) would be 1200x1800 pixels. Is that what you've got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Schaefer Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Bingo! Thanks! Like an idiot I didnt check the PPI and it was at 72. Trying again at the right PPI Thanks for the quick response 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
