As opposed to a low-res file.

A quantitative answer wins the points!

All files have layers embedded for the page layout, font, graphics, etc... In order to have a printed result that is appealing to the eye the file must have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch). Images with a resolution less than 300 dpi will reproduce poorly on press (the image will look fuzzy and/or pixilated). If you took your images from a website on the internet, there is a 90% chance that they will not be a high enough resolution for printing (unless the images came from a stock photography house and are designated high resolution).

The internet displays images at 72 dpi, so that the images appear quickly over an internet connection, but under no circumstances should they be used for printing. If you submit low-resolution files for printing, you will not be happy with the quality of your printing.

Low res are the previews on porn sites. High res are the stuff you pay for.

Actually the first answer is pretty much right on the money, but I still want the damn points.
