I have a problem with resolution of the images for printing.
I have images which shows reolution as 96 X 96. Whereas for printing they say they need atleast 300 dpi. I have printed many of my photos with similar resolution for standards A4 size prints.
Will 96 X 96 resolution be not sufficient ? Or can it happen that the resolution shown is not correct ? . Please let me know what could be done

Thanks,
Vikas

I would think that a resolution of 96x96 would even look fuzzy on your monitor for any other than a small thumbnail.

When printing, I've had good results from clear pictures at as low as 150ppi (pixels per inch). For an ISO A4 print that comes out to around 1240x1754 image resolution. I think my conversion is correct. It's based on an ISO A4 being 210x297mm and there being 25.4mm per inch.
