Understanding DPI
Everything you need to know about image resolution and print quality
?What is DPI?
DPI (Dots Per Inch) measures print density - how many dots of ink are printed in one inch. A higher DPI means more dots, resulting in finer detail and smoother gradients in your prints. It's crucial for determining how large you can print an image while maintaining quality.
vsDPI vs PPI
While often used interchangeably, they're different: DPI refers to printer output (dots of ink), while PPI (Pixels Per Inch) refers to screen display (pixels). When preparing images for print, you're technically setting PPI, but it's commonly called DPI.
