DPI
Dots per inch, a measure of print resolution.
What is dpi?
DPI (dots per inch) measures print resolution - how many dots of ink per inch. Higher DPI produces sharper prints. Web images are typically 72dpi (display resolution), while print requires 300dpi. DPI is distinct from pixel dimensions but both affect final output quality.
