DPI (Dots Per Inch)
A measure of print resolution indicating how many ink dots the printer can place within one square inch. Higher DPI means better quality.
Detailed Explanation
DPI is the standard measurement for print resolution. Most business copiers operate at 600-1200 DPI, which is sufficient for text and standard graphics. High-end models offer 2400 DPI or higher for photo-quality output. Higher DPI produces sharper text, smoother gradients, and finer detail but may slow down printing speed and increase file sizes.
Examples
- 300 DPI: Draft quality
- 600 DPI: Standard business documents
- 1200 DPI: Professional documents
- 2400+ DPI: Photo quality
