Images
The following are images associated with Franz Kafka. They are mostly saved as “High” quality (80%) JPEGs. The Web uses images with a resoultion of 72 dpi, or dots per inch, saved as a GIF or JPEG, which is a compressed image and therefore inferior in quality. Printwork is generally 300 dpi resolution, which is much higher in quality, and is saved as superior grade TIF or EPS files. This is why printing images from a computer screen gives you poor results. All the images on this site are 72 dpi; including here; otherwise they would take too long to download. We advise using them only on your computer. If you want an image of Kafka for printwork, you should scan one in directly form the source – after obtaining the correct permissions, of course.
