Understanding DPI: The Measure of Resolution in Printing and Graphics

DPI stands for "Dots Per Inch". It is a measure of the resolution of a printer or other output device. The higher the DPI, the more detailed and higher-resolution the output will be.

For example, if a printer has a DPI of 600, it means that it can produce 600 dots (or pixels) per inch of paper. This results in a much higher level of detail and clarity in the printed image compared to a printer with a lower DPI.

DPI is often used interchangeably with PPI (Pixels Per Inch), which measures the same thing but uses the term "pixels" instead of "dots". However, DPI is generally used more commonly in the context of printing and graphics, while PPI is more commonly used in digital imaging and photography.
