[photoshop-beginners] Re: Image Size - Resolution

That means that your printer can print 5760 dots of ink in one inch wide or 1440 dots of ink in one inch height. Lines per inch for your print is probably 720, half the dots per inch.
Imagine the printhead traversing the whole page. That is one line. The printer can print 720 of them as the paper moves one inch through the printer. The printhead can squirt two drops at each point along the line.
It can print more dots in one inch as it travels across the page.

5760 pixels/300 dpi = 19.2 inches; /150 dpi = 38.4 in.
1440 pixels/300 dpi = 4.8 inches; /150 dpi = 9.6 in.

Take the dimensions in pixels of your image, then divide each by the dpi resolution to derive the print size in inches.
God bless you always, all ways,
Paul
