    I stick with the feeling that 300 dpi of data for the final output of the print should be about right.

    So, for a 10x8 image, 3000x2400 pixels should be sufficient.

    The pixel count would rise according as print size does to enable at least 300 dpi of raw data (non-interpolated) when possible.

    For instance, 14x11 = 4200x3300

    Just a general guide that I like to use, not saying it is any sort of absolute. Just works for me is all.
