@The Belgian, welcome to the forums.

When you say "paste from clipboard", what are you pasting into? The default dpi for a new document is 96dpi, so this may explain your problem. You will need to set the dpi of your target document to 300.

For an existing (target) document, our can use Document > Resize document and change the dpi leaving the Resample box unticked.

When creating a new document, you can specify the dpi at this stage.
