Alright today we are just going to go over DPI, but when you hear these acronyms most people are seriously boggled about this nonsense. When I hear to many acronyms in a row to quickly I automatically think of the government. Hopefully today might be a little less confusing then how the government operates.
DPI or Dots Per Inch is what is commonly used as a measurement for printing. When you print a picture or a document from your computer, the signal your computer sends to your printer is formed by a bunch of dots. The more DPI that your printer can print in every inch, the more detail that you will have when your file is printed. The most common setting for a printer to print out is 300 DPI, which would mean that you have a picture that is 300 Dots Per every inch of your printout. The best way that I can illustrate DPI is a picture with the dots in a very large and square form.
As you can see from our everyday hero Mario, you can form pictures out of dots, but a computer does it in a very tiny scale. Here are a couple of more examples for your enjoyment!

This is a great blog! I have a question for you. My computer died, and Best Buy wants to charge me $200 to retrieve my files and reformat my computer. Is this my only option, or is it easy to do on my own?
ReplyDeleteCFOs certainly know what they are talking about, especially withFAR cost accounting standards.
