Canon EOS 700D (T5i) Producing 72 dpi images

Dpi depends on context. The OPs question didn't have a context, so dpi is meaningless.

Your context, being print, dpi has a meaning, in that I agree with you.

I've worked as a graphics designer and have regularly printed out designs at a printing press. There are a few common mistakes when the resolution of images doesn't come out as planned in my experience.

1. During export to pdf or other printable formats the dpi settings can be too low. Solution: increase export resolution in the settings. It's best to create a printing press pdf printer profile with the correct settings. When printing to pdf, pick the correct pdf printer profile so you don't have to mess around with settings every time. Adobe software often don't remember printer device specific settings, a mistake is easily made.

2. If the document from the design application is used directly (illustrator, indesign, quark express etc), images may not be in the expected file location or missing completely on the transport medium like usb stick or zipfile. Usually a low resolution proxy is still available so on screen it looks ok. Printers happily print the proxy images and often don't do a proof print, you have to ask and pay for this. make sure you do a preflight check. All images and needed files will be copied to one easy to copy folder. Also supply a color print from inkjet or color laser so mistakes can be easily spotted. Also make sure the application versions match with your printers'.

Photoshop, despite its name isn't very suitable for setting images for a photo album. There are special photo album applications, often connected with the print service that does it all for you and warn you if the resolution is too low. If you're an experienced graphics designer, indesign or other dtp software can also be used, though you'll have to proof the ouput yourself. Certified pdf profile and checking can help a lot though, which is included in acrobat pro.

Thank you-- this is actually really helpful. Which setting would i change on the camera to make the image output larger?

Guys, Here I would likely would not agree with you.

Being Honest DPI, when it comes to print; Does matter a lot.

I am a wedding, product & documentation photographer and here in PK(Pakistan) we give out printed digital albums of dimensions like 12x36. So when it comes to something below 150 dpi its worth not printing even if you choose to downgrade the size and dimensions of the images in pscs6 or any software.

In fact i came across this thread just to find a easy solution for one of mt fellow photographers problems as he had already had an album printed and when it came to his office he could not believe the pointless blurs in his images Larger sized or smaller sized

I would rather go into Adobe Photoshop and increase the DPI of the images before I send them for a print. Even if it takes good time for me to do so.

Where as I would also recommend applying the setting changes in your camera as the previous fellow did. maybe they could be gratefully helpful.

In either case, you need some help in applying changes to your images in regards to DPI
