DPI (Dots Per Inch)

A linear measurment of resolution used for scanning and printing. Generally, more dots per inch means a higher resolution, a greater amount of visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.

A single value (for example 1200 dpi) means dots per linear incyh both vertically and horizontally, which two values (for example 600 x 1200 dpi) indicates horizontal and vertical resolutions, respectively.

A dpi value shown as 600@1200 dpi means that the image is process at 600, but is printed at 1200.
