Can't grasp relationship between image resolution and printer DPI
#4
Not a photograph, a graphic design and going to be printed on your home laser printer.

I would use the Gimp default 300 ppi US letter template. You might be able to get away with less (ppi), all depends on the graphic.

A little bit here: http://resources.printhandbook.com/pages...inting.php

edit: I do not think you have got idea of the printer dpi resolution. My inkjet has (had to look it up) Maximum native print resolution 6,000x1,200dpi That does not mean that I would use that setting for a new image. For a photograph on good quality photo paper I use 300 ppi. For printing on other paper, I might still use 300 ppi but really a bit of a waste of ink.
