  • Hello :). You probably know how DPI works. Simply take your print dimensions in inches and multiply it by 300. Voilà! - there's your render dimensions in pixels. – jachym michal Jun 24 '21 at 20:35

    Quite interesting :) Do you want to know how many pixel you need for image printed at 300 dpi ... or how to assign a render (image) info about 300dpi resolution to be recognised by printer? In the first case Jachym's link is right in second case it is not possible in blender, it is a part of metadata that is not possible at the moment natively (from what I know). – vklidu Jun 24 '21 at 21:15
  • read the second post: https://forums.cgsociety.org/t/high-resolution-300dpi-image-from-blender/1419912 is this right ? – bilo Jun 24 '21 at 21:43
  • Yes it is :) Just be aware DPI (dot per inch) as named are inches ... so if you want px for cm dimension you have to divide cm value by 2.54 like for A4 paper (21x29.7 cm) the math is for X 21/2.54*300 https://imgur.com/a/cmcmZTY – vklidu Jun 24 '21 at 22:07

    to facilitate the calculation in the blender: https://github.com/zebus3d/Render_to_Print .to facilitate the calculation in the blender:

    72dpi in photoshop keeps showing but I believe that the procedure described in the link I gave solves this. right ?

  • Yes ... "Render to Print" addon does the same math as in my screens ... 72 to 300 you have to change in some image editor just disable "Resample" and write 300 dpi. This site is meant to be knowledge base ... so would be helpful if you can create an answer in "Output for Print". Some short description with the screen of addon ... to help others.
