    If your incoming file was tagged as 30" wide at 72dpi, thats 2160 pixels wide.

    2160 pixels wide is the only 'real' thing here... the dpi and print size quoted are just another way of describing the bitmap image.

    If you wanted to print it at 20" wide, without resizing you get 108dpi

    20" wide at 300 dpi requires a 6000 pixel wide image...so you are upsizing in this example...

    But not because of the incoming dpi, but simply because the image was too small in pixels to acheive your desired dpi/physical size.
