Dots per inch. A close-up of the dots produced by an inkjet printer at draft quality. Actual size is approximately 1⁄4 by 1⁄4 inch (6 by 6 mm). Individual coloured droplets of ink are visible; this sample is about 150 DPI. Dots per inch ( DPI, or dpi [1]) is a measure of spatial printing, video or image scanner dot density, in particular ...
A 1951 USAF resolution test chart is a microscopic optical resolution test device originally defined by the U.S. Air Force MIL-STD-150A standard of 1951. The design provides numerous small target shapes exhibiting a stepped assortment of precise spatial frequency specimens. It is widely used in optical engineering laboratory work to analyze and ...
Lines per inch ( LPI) is a measurement of printing resolution. A line consists of halftones that is built up by physical ink dots made by the printer device to create different tones. Specifically LPI is a measure of how close together the lines in a halftone grid are. The quality of printer device or screen determines how high the LPI will be.
Dot matrix printing. Dot matrix printing, [1] sometimes called impact matrix printing, is a computer printing process in which ink is applied to a surface using a relatively low-resolution dot matrix for layout. Dot matrix printers are a type of impact printer that prints using a fixed number of pins or wires [2] [3] and typically use a print ...
This chart shows the most common display resolutions, with the color of each resolution type indicating the display ratio (e.g. red indicates a 4:3 ratio). For a more in depth discussion of resolutions, see Display resolution standards .

A video showing an inkjet printer while printing a page. In computing, a printer is a peripheral machine which makes a durable representation of graphics or text, usually on paper. [1] While most output is human-readable, bar code printers are an example of an expanded use for printers. [2]
t. e. Daisy wheel printing is an impact printing technology invented in 1970 by Andrew Gabor [1] at Diablo Data Systems. It uses interchangeable pre-formed type elements, each with typically 96 glyphs, to generate high-quality output comparable to premium typewriters such as the IBM Selectric, but two to three times faster. Daisy wheel printing ...
