HOW TO DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF YOUR CUSTOM IMAGE

Due to the varying sizes of infrared heating panels, there are some minimum requirements that your image needs to meet before sending it to us for printing.

Dots per Inch (DPI)

DPI serves as an indicator of image quality, with a higher value indicating higher quality.  It quantifies the density of dots or pixels per inch within your image.

Pixels

Pixels are the tiny dots that any digital image is comprised of.  They determine the size of your image.  Much like DPI, an increased pixel count equates to a larger image.

It is important to note that having a high DPI and a high pixel count does not automatically imply superior image quality.

What Quality Does My Image Need To Be?

For each panel size we sell, there is a recommended pixel count as the table below indicates:

A high quality image should reflect sharpness, clarity, and lots of detail, without any blurriness or pixelation.
