: Info about pixel size and DPI for file I'm working with an artist who is sending me png files. According to the printer, these files are to be 825 px x 1125 px at 300dpi. Seems straightforward
I'm working with an artist who is sending me png files. According to the printer, these files are to be 825 px x 1125 px at 300dpi. Seems straightforward enough to me. However, the artist keeps sending me files at 1650 px x 2250 px at 72 dpi though I've reiterated what size I need.
Here's the question. Is there a technical reason why, as an experienced artist, he's doing this? Does he know something I don't about pixels and dpi (like maybe this is a non-issue)? Or is he just being a jerk, lazy, or not paying attention? I'm still a novice at graphic design so I want to know if there's a good technical reason why he might be doing this before I make an issue out of it. Thanks.

Assuming you have a pixel size requirement, DPI (PPI) is mostly meaningless; All that matters is the size in pixels. The PPI would only matter if you were giving the artist a physical size requirement. See my answer to I need some help understanding DPI.
That being said, all your artist is doing is sending you his artwork at x2 scale; it's common to work at a higher resolution than needed and shouldn't cause you any issues. Just be thankful he isn't sending it at half size.
