print resolution
Dots per inch
Print resolution measures the detail a printer can produce, expressed in dots per inch (dpi).
Higher resolution means finer detail and smoother gradients: The photo looks grainy because I printed it at too low a resolution.
Professional printing typically requires 300 dpi or higher, while draft documents may use 150 dpi to save ink.
Resolution also determines how large an image can be printed before quality degrades.
