The Gimp A1 template is set to 300 ppi printing resolution. The 300 ppi comes from the accepted value for printing in photographic quality. Good for holding a photograph in your hand. Large images such as posters generally do not need as much as 300 ppi because they are usually viewed at a distance.
Check this chart http://resources.printhandbook.com/pages...ce-dpi.php
This one says up to 300 ppi for posters, so the best thing is, (as usual Ask the printer) https://www.photoline.co.uk/artwork-guide/
Always depends, If a photograph then you might need 250 ppi but if it is more of an artistic design or an advertising poster then a lower value maybe 150 ppi.
