Thanks to PNGs' high color depth, the format can handle high resolution photos easily. However, since it is a lossless web format, file sizes tend to become very large. PNG graphics are optimized for the screen. You could definitely print out a PNG, but you'd be better off with a JPEG (lossy) or a TIFF file.
