Checking image quality for printing Vector graphics(.eps, .ai):
Logo, typography, illustration can be created by Adobo Illustrator
Resolution independent: Keep the image sharp perfectly when enlarged. (not necessary to check quality for printing)
Each drawn line can be selected, moved, and resized independently
Raster Graphics (.tiff, .jpg, .png…. ):Picture and photo can be created by camera or
canner and fixed by Photoshop, Lightroom…Resolution depends on pixels (must check quality
for printing)PPI (pixels per inch) changes when image size
changes: The bigger, the lower
![Page 13: 01 Introducing the Workspace](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062821/588b09cd1a28abdf3b8b5813/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Check the image quality for raster graphics in InDesign: Standard: Effective PPI must greater than 300 under
current size for standard printing. If Effective PPI shows like: number x number, both two number must greater than 300
The larger the image size is, the lower the effective PPI will be, vise versa.
The steps: 1. Go “Window” “Links” to make sure the “Link panel” is open 2. Under “Link panel,” choose the image you want to check. 3. Find “Effective PPI” 4. Adjust image size to increase “Effective PPI,” if necessary.
