300 DPI Children’s Book Illustrations for Print
Print quality problems are easier to prevent than fix. Use a final preflight checklist before export.
Preflight quality checks
- Confirm final dimensions match trim target.
- Verify resolution and clarity at print scale.
- Check for compression artifacts in gradients.
- Review text readability over illustrated backgrounds.
Common print pitfalls
- Upscaling low-res art too late.
- Thin lines disappearing in darker areas.
- Faces losing detail in shadow-heavy scenes.
- Inconsistent color appearance across spreads.
How MyStoryBot supports print prep
MyStoryBot helps you iterate page illustrations and exports so you can run quality checks before assembling your final print files.
Resolution sanity checks
- Do not rely on late upscaling for core print quality.
- Review line edges at 100% zoom for blur or ringing.
- Check skin tones and gradients on multiple displays before proofing.
- Re-export any page that looks soft compared with neighboring spreads.
FAQ
Is 300 DPI alone enough for good print results?
No. You also need correct dimensions, clean source detail, and consistent color/contrast choices.
Should every page get the same final check?
Yes. Print defects often appear only on a few pages, so each spread needs a quick preflight review.
