Visual representation of different print resolutions:
Understanding print resolution:
- DPI (dots per inch): Refers to the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within the span of 1 inch. The more dots, the higher the image resolution.
- High DPI: Results in sharp and detailed images. Typically found in professional printing.
- Low DPI: Often appears pixelated and is common in web images.
Conversion rationale:
1 inch = 2.54 cm, hence for 300 DPI: px = cm × 300 / 2.54
