Prove it with a print

A screen can show the layout; one real print reveals whether scale, contrast and delicate details survive.

Treat DPI as a starting point

300 DPI helps, but coating, printer settings and the relationship to a real photo change the finished result.

Print light and dark

Test one light and one dark paper at actual size. Compare tiny motifs, open areas and the edge around a photo.

Save what worked

Write down the printer, media and settings beside the sample so the next page starts with evidence instead of guessing.

Check the physical fit

Place the sample beside your photo or journal. A beautiful file can still compete with handwriting when printed.

Start with one sheet

Keep the first test small, inspect it in daylight, and only then repeat the layout across the project.
