What is DPI and Why Does It Matter?
DPI (Dots Per Inch) is a measurement of printer resolution that indicates how many dots of ink a printer can place in a one-inch line. Higher DPI values generally result in sharper, more detailed printed images.
When Do You Need to Increase DPI?
- For professional printing where image quality is critical
- When preparing images for large format printing
- For print materials like brochures, magazines, and business cards
- When your printer requires a specific minimum DPI for optimal results
