Countries using the metric system tend to use lines per centimeter (L/cm). In order to convert between L/in and L/cm the following formulas can be used: Lines per inch to lines per cm: L/cm = 0.394 x L/in i.e. 254 L/in = 100 L/cm Lines per cm to lines per inch: L/in = 2.54 x L/cm i.e. 100 L/cm = 254 L/in
