Not really sure where to ask this, so maybe people good with cameras can help me out?
I've got this 3245 x 4868 pixels image. When opened in photoshop this image is said to have 72ppi. It's a relatively large image but I want to print this out as a 24"x36" poster for my room (yes i made and own this image). Would the result be very blurry once its printed out?
The thing is, I keep trying to do the math in my head and don't quite understand why things need to be printed in 300ppi for the print to look sharp. On a computer screen, 72ppi looks sharp already. So if the printer can just replace the pixels with ink at exactly the same ratio/size, the print should look fine right?
I just don't wanna spend $70 for a blurry poster, thanks guys!
