Why is the dpi of the file download different than what I thought I was purchasing?
Dpi, or dots per inch, is calculated based upon file reproduction size.  Dpi may be adjusted by the client within an image editor such as Photoshop, without affecting the pixel dimensions of the file.  As an image is reduced in physical size, the dpi increases.  The dpi decreases as the image size increases.  A larger file (higher resoution) would be required to increase size of a reproduction and maintain a constant dpi.

DPI vs. PPI
Dpi or dots per inch, refers to the dots of ink in a printed piece.  Ppi or pixels per inch, refers to the quantity of pixels within an electronic device such as a computer monitor.  

Do you offer larger file sizes?
Yes.  Please place a Quote request or contact us for pricing on higher resolution files.
