Pixel Dimensions vs Document Dimensions. Again.

We've had a spate of images supplied to us from various customers that are much too small. I hate to nag about something, but it bears another telling.

Website logos are no good for print. Period. Logos from email signatures are also no good for print.

If you're compiling logos or images for a brochure, a business card, a sponsor banner, or a flyer, please do not "pull a logo off their website..." and expect a positive outcome.

Most sponsors will have a quality logo, and be happy to give it to you in a good format for printing.

The image below illustrates the difference between Pixel Dimensions and Document Dimensions.
Pixel Dimensions refers to how many pixels are used to build the image. The Document Dimensions do not always reflect a high resolution file, without looking at the Resolution itself.

If you ever have any questions, please leave me a comment and I'll be happy to clarify details for you.
