: What is the largest resolution image I can print at a store with a print center? My company prints cheap posters relatively frequently for events we host and attend. Usually we print these

@Lengel450

Well, with the info we have here we can only give you some general guidelines.

For the dimensions part, depends on the size of the poster, do you want it A3, that is 297mm by 420mm, resolution is safe to have it at 300 pixel/inch.

This will give you a document of exactly 3508 x 4961 pixels.
Anything other than that, is just as you called it, a guessing game. Ask them about this, it's a lot easier and it's actually the best thing to do.

If they don't know what to tell you, do what @Rafael suggested: "ask what machine they are working with and google the specs".

Resolution or dimensions?

For "resolution" ask what machine they are working with and google the specs. In real life print an image, either you like it or you do not.

For sizes, again, go to your local store or call them and ask.

The "guessing games" is probably your game. You need to ble clear on what information you need to know. One thing is a color calibration issue, where you need to print a sample and come back with some adjustments, but "dimensions" just make a call.
