The trick to creating a logo for print is to first compute its size in the print resolution. For example, if you need a 150 DPI 5"x6" print, then you need to create an image of (5*150)x(6*150) = 750 x 850 pixels. This is the size of the image must be no matter what resolution you set for that image. If you created a 72DPI image that was 482 pixels tall and then change the DPI to 150, the print will be pretty small. If you want exactly the same dimensions on the screen (at 72DPI, 482 pixels) as on the printed page, you need to scale the image by (150/72) = 2.083 times. Therefore your new height needs to be 1004 pixels. -- Michael J.
