DPI
DPI - Dots per Inch
• This is the amount of ink
dots the printer will put on
each pixel of your image.
• The DPI is set by the actual
printer device and it is not
something in the image for
the graphic designer to
manipulate.
PPI
PPI - Pixels per Inch
• Digital raster images are measured
in pixels, or picture elements.
• How many pixels per inch is
determined by the device you
create the digital image with:
camera, scanner, or graphics
software and can be modified with
a photo/paint editing software.
