If you're taking your work to offset printing, anything less than
300dpi is going to look dodgy. I prefer at least 600dpi for my offset
projects.

On import, choose a dpi setting that produces the correct size to fit the space you want to fill. For instance, if your screen shot is 1000 pixels wide, and you want to fit a 5" text column, set the dpi on import to 1000/5 = 200 dpi.
