Optimal print at 300 PPI

30.9 × 46.3 cm — 12.16 × 18.24″

Also suitable for close viewing.

Large-format print at 200 PPI

46.3 × 69.5 cm — 18.24 × 27.36″

Spreads the same original pixels over a larger surface (1.5× per side compared to 300 PPI), without interpolation or changes to the file. Recommended for a viewing distance of about 80–90 cm or more; very close up (~20 cm) grain, noise or minor imperfections may become noticeable. The result also depends on the photograph, the paper and the printing process.
