: Changing pixel density from 72 to 300 dpi for print So I need to prepare a PSD to print a 250 mm x 250 mm card. 300 dpi and CMYK. I am fairly new to this. This isn't my domain. I am

That's not a good idea. Resampling raster images always degrades image quality.

An image 800px x 600px at 300dpi will print at 2.6" x 2" optimally. You could get away with a little larger perhaps, perhaps double the size and apply some sharpening.

However if you enlarge such an image so that it's nearer 250mm on one side it will just look blurry. Furthermore, the aspect ratio doesn't match the size you are printing, so the image will get squished.

For artwork like logos and such, you would really be better recreating them as vectors. If these are photographic images, you'll need higher resolution images - and for that you will probably need the original files.

This is an example of the kind of degradation such resizing can cause.



Edit: check the comments below. User Jooja provides an example that demonstates what will happen to graphics like logos, when resampled - the result is probably even worse than that of a photographic image.
