Which DPI to pick

A4 (210 × 297 mm) is used for letters, flyers, documents, and magazine pages. For anything printed and read at arm’s length, build the canvas at 300 DPI. Screen-only documents can use 96 DPI. If the design has edge-to-edge color or images, use the bleed column and let the printer trim back to the final size, the bleed calculator covers the mechanics.
