HOW TO DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF YOUR CUSTOM IMAGE

Due to the varying sizes of Infrared Panel Heaters 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:

Panel Size	Recommended Pixel Count (at 72 DPI)	Recommended Pixel Count (at 300 DPI)
300mmx1200mm 350W Ultra-Slim	850 x 3402	3543 x 14173
600mmx600mm 350W	1701 x 1701	7087 x 7087
600mmx1000mm 580W	1701 x 2835	7087 x 11811
600mmx1200mm 700W	1701 x 3402	7087 x 14173
800mmx1200mm 900W	2268 x 3402	9449 x 14173
1000mmx1200mm 1200W	2835 x 3402	11811 x 14173

 

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