Strictly speaking a dot is the smallest spot an imagesetter or printer can output and is usually expressed in dots per inch (dpi). However the term dot is often used interchangeably with Pixels (ppi) or Halftone Cells (lpi or L/S). An imagesetter dot is of a specific and unvarying size. A 300dpi laser printer can only make dots that are 1/300 of an inch in diameter. To make a bigger spot it uses several dots. On the other hand a halftone dot varies in size in order to simulate continuous tone. (see: Halftone)
