Preparing a 12 x 18 poster or photo
A 12 x 18 print uses a 2:3 aspect ratio, the same shape as 4 x 6 but at three times the physical dimensions. At 300 DPI it requires 3600 x 5400 pixels, which places greater demands on source resolution and memory.
For posters viewed from a distance, 150 DPI may be adequate depending on content and printer. Detailed photography inspected closely benefits from more pixels. Always use the print provider’s bleed and color specifications when available.
