So to make my question simple ( I am a beginner ).
I want to publish graphic novels ( Both: Digital viewing and Printed books )
DIGITAL:
- What pixel numbers should I make my canvas ( specifically )
- DPI? ( I've read for Digital viewing DPI is irrelevant? )
PHYSICAL PRINT BOOK:
- What pixel numbers should I make my canvas ( specifically )
- DPI? ( I get mixed answers of either 600dpi or 300dpi...which one? )
Looking for true straight forward answers. Thanks everyone.

1 year agoIn general, the canvas for printing is larger, so first create it in the size for printing → reduce it and use it for web purposes.
In general, the dpi for printing is
・350dpi for color works (300dpi or more)
・600 dpi (600 dpi or more) for monochrome and grayscale works
For web works, dpi is irrelevant.
However, screen tone display and text size are affected, so check the finish and make adjustments.
You should check the medium you are uploading for specific pixel counts.
If you are submitting to a journal, please contact the journal.
If you are self-publishing, please contact the print shop.
If it's a contest, read the entry requirements carefully.
