In computers, dots per inch (dpi) is a measure of the sharpness (that is, the density of illuminated points) on a display screen. The dot pitch determines the absolute limit of the possible dots per inch. However, the displayed resolution of pixels (picture elements) that is set up for the display is usually not as fine as the dot pitch.

DPI stands for dots per inch, or the number of dots of ink that fill a linear inch of surface. DPI is used to measure printing resolution -- the higher the dots per inch, the better the resolution and the better the image quality. For example, if an image has a resolution of 300dpi, it means that a square inch of solid color will be filled with about 90,000 (300X300) dots of ink. (Return to Top)

let the XFree86 X server calculate the DPI value based on the DisplaySize parameter in its configuration file, XF86Config-4. See the XF86Config-4(5x) manual page for details. The first method is recommended if you already know the DPI value of your monitor and wish to always run it at the same resolution; the second method is the more flexible way, but only available for the XFree86 X server. In each of the files above, remove the -dpi word and the following number.

The higher the better! We suggest using at least 300 DPI for all images. Try to achieve a size of at least 2000 x 3000 pixels.

By default, we scan pictures at 72 dpi since this setting seems to produce images of high quality without making the size of the files overly large. Please not that if you order your photos to be outputed to CD-ROM then 200 dpi scans are going to be included free of charge. If you want to scan your pictures at a higher dpi setting, please contact us and we will try to accomadate you.

Yes, it certainly could matter. A correctly built base is most essential if the finished building is to be built satisfactory. Only normal brickwork building tolerances should be allowed.

ArtMatic's images are exported without a DPI setting. When exporting from ArtMatic Pro, enter the pixel dimensions of the image you want. For example, if you want the image to be 4 inches square at 300 dpi, export the image with 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels. In your graphics app, open the picture and set the DPI setting without re-sampling the image. In PhotoShop, open the Image Size dialog and set the print resolution to the desired resolution.

Resolution usually specifies how an image was generated; for example, if it was scanned in, the resolution tells how many dots (pixels) per inch (DPI) or dots per centimetre (DPC) were used in the scanning process. Resolution may also specify a recommended size for output; for example, an image that is 600 by 600 pixels may be specified at 300 DPI to print as 2 inches by 2 inches (600 dots / 300 dpi = 2 inches).

The choice of new or used is yours. You can also select between the SUV, van, or car of your choice, depending on the amount of your pre-approved loan.

Check with the INFO command the location of part and net. If the displayed coordinates are on grid the problem might be caused in the library definition. To check the location of the objects properly it can be usefull to set GRID FINEST.

DOTS stands for directly observed treatment short course, the curative treatment for tuberculosis. It is the name for a comprehensive strategy which primary health services around the world are using to detect and cure TB patients. It combines five elements: ii) Microscopy services to detect the infectious cases among those people attending health care facilities with symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis, most importantly cough of 3 weeks duration or more.

DPI (dots per inch) and LPI (lines per inch) refer to the definition or potential clarity of the image output. The higher the resolution; the better the possible output. Different media have different resolutions. Check your desktop printer for its specifications. In supplying film to Quality Print resolution is an important point of contention. You will need to know what dpi/lpi is needed. The other spec you will need to know is on what side of the film is the photoemulsion.

Your Picture Mosaic may have a resolution ranging from 88 mega pixels to 200 mega pixels depending on the size of your Picture Mosaic (keep in mind that the top digital cameras only have a resolution of about 3 to 4 mega pixels). After the picture is rendered, it will be printed at 1440 dpi or 2880 dpi (two to three times that of photo-quality).

DPI stands for dots per inch or pixels per inch. DPI represents the resolution, accuracy, sharpness and clarity of your digital picture. A higher DPI is generally associated with a higher quality image; however, if the DPI exceeds the resolution of the original media, a higher DPI can actual diminish the quality of the image.

That depends on what you are scanning. Magazine images should not be scanned at much over 100 dpi, because the ink dots used in the image are about that size (anyone know exactly?) and you will get pre-dithered images if you use a finer scanner setting. Newspapers are coarser still, and I wouldn't try anything finer than 60 dpi.

The higher the better! We suggest using at least 300 DPI for photos - but obviously you will have to increase the DPI dramatically if you are scanning negatives. Use a DPI to reach a target size of around 3000x4000. back to top
