Lines per inch or LPI refers to the number of dot lines created per inch, which provides an indication of image sharpness. The finer the "screen" used to create printing plates, the more detail can be portrayed in the final printed piece. Most color printing is performed between 133 and 175 lines per inch.
A rating of print resolution defined by the kind of press and paper a job will finish on. A higher lpi rating means a finer resolution (more lines per inch).
The spatial resolution of a device, photographic emulsion, and so forth, expressed as the greatest number of parallel lines per inch that can be resolved. Related only indirectly to dots per inch, which specifies addressing resolution, but not the greatest number of lines that can be sensed or created, which will be at least two times smaller.
Linear measure of screen ruling expressing how many lines of dots there are per inch in a screen tint, halftone or separation. Abbreviated lpi.
The number of lines, rows or dots per inch in a screen
A measurement of litho screen resolution, typically 133-400lpi.
measure of the resolution of a piece of printing film
Lines Per Inch is a vertical measure of density but it's not worth worrying about. If you're have your Dots Per Inch high enough then you won't have Lines Per Inch problems and you don't have to bother with it. It refers to the frequency of horizontal and vertical lines on a halftone screen. I think photoshop occasionally brings up the subject of LPI just to make sure amateurs continue to find it impenetrable. When you come across the term, think of lpi as around half or two thirds of Dots per inch and you won't go far wrong.
The number of lines in an inch, as found on the screens that create halftones and four-color process images (for example, "printed 175-line screen"). The more lines per inch, the more detailed the printed image will be.
A measure of the fineness of a halftone screen ruling. The higher the number, the finer the screen ruling. For example, 60 lpi is a coarse screen ruling used for some 300 dot per inch laser printers. Some high-quality poster work is printed with a 200 lpi screen ruling.
The number of rows of dots per inch in a halftone.
(lpi) -number of input scans or output exposure lines per inch crosswise to the direction or travel of the device.
The fineness of a halftone screen is measured by the number of lines per inch. The more lines per inch, the more detailed the printed image will be.
The number of lines per inch measures the fineness of a halftone screen. The more lines per inch, the more detailed the printed image.
LPI refers to the number of lines printed per vertical inch, usually 6 or 8.
a measure of the frequency of a halftone screen (usually ranging from 55-200). Originally, halftones were made by placing an etched glass plate over an image and exposing it to produce dots. Lpi refers to the frequency of the horizontal and vertical lines.
The yardstick used to measure halftone resolution.
Halftone screens are measured in lpi. Newspapers print photographs at 65 to 85 lpi, and this produces coarse-looking pictures. Our normal printing process uses 133 to 150 line screens. The industry rule of thumb is to scan your photographs at two times the lpi at which they are going to be printed. This means we scan our photographs at 250-300 dpi to achieve the best quality. Any higher dpi than twice the lpi will just increase the file size, but will have very little effect on the quality of the image.
The resolution of printed images. Lpi is distinct from dpi, which measures the resolution of electronic images.
Lines per inch (LPI) is a measurement of printing resolution in systems that use a halftone screen. Specifically, it is a measure of how close together the lines in a halftone grid are. Higher LPI indicates greater detail and sharpness.
