Auto-generation
Print It My Way auto-generates print files at the correct specs for each partner. You don't manually configure DPI — the app reads the destination partner's requirements and produces the right file.
DPI validation on customer uploads
When a customer uploads a photo, Print It My Way validates DPI at the final print size:
- Soft warning below 150 DPI at print size
- Hard block below 100 DPI (prevents low-quality prints from shipping)
Customer sees the warning inline and can re-upload a higher-res photo.
