In print technology, the acronym DPI stands for Dots Per Inch, a measure of print resolution. It indicates the number of individual dots of ink a printer can place within a linear inch. Higher DPI values generally result in more detailed and higher-quality images. For example, a printer with a DPI of 600 can create more intricate details than one with a DPI of 300. This measurement is crucial for achieving professional-quality prints in photographs and graphics.
