The d.p.i. is a measurement of detail. A digital image is broken down into tiny dots. As registered onscreen, they’re known as pixels. The more pixels there are, the more detail and clarity is in the print. Thus, the higher your d.p.i. (which also means the higher your resolution), the more stunning your finished print will be when doing significant enlargements. Also referred to as p.p.i. (pixels per inch).
(dots per inch) Measure of resolution for a laser printer, image setter, or monitor.
Dots per Inch. Unit of measure used for the resolution of a picture.
Dots per inch. A measure of the detail of a print. "Apparent d.p.i." refers to the fact that the eye perceives an image as having greater detail than in does in physical reality.
