Answer: While there isn’t a direct equivalence between DPI and PPI, an image intended for print at 300 DPI should ideally be at least 300 PPI to ensure clarity and detail in the print. Is 96 DPI the same as 300 PPI? Answer: No, 96 DPI is a standard resolution for some screens, while 300 PPI indicates a high-resolution image suitable for DPI (Dots Per Inch) settings are only applicable when printing an image.

There was even a situation where I needed to deliver my comicpages (Pure Black and White) in 1200 dpi for printing. This was for a professional publisher with it's own printer. At 4800 dpi, printing a pixel resolution of 300 ppi gives you 16 dots in that direction to recreate the color intensity. In the other direction, 1200 dpi for the same 300 ppi gives you only 4 dots for recreating the color intensity. In this case, 4x16 gives you get a grid of 64 potential dots, which provides a color depth of 64 shades. LEGEND , Mar 21, 2012. Sure I can explain it a 877x591 pixel image that is 300 ppi will display in a print document as smaller dimensional image than a 877x591 pixel image at 72 ppi. The important part here is to remember the ppi and what that stands for ppi=pixels per inch so 877 ÷ 72 = 12.1805 " 877 ÷ 300 = 2.923 " see Illustrator is seeing DPI means Dot Per Inch. In theory, if a mouse has 1600 DPI, then, if you move your mouse one inch (2.54 cm), the mouse pointer will move 1600 pixels. The higher the DPI, the more sensitive the mouse is. That is, you move the mouse even a tiny bit, the pointer will move a huge distance across the screen. Almost all mouse sold today have about .
