Dots Per Inch - Proposed Metrification

Proposed Metrification

See also: dots per centimetre

There is some ongoing efforts to abandon DPI in favour of metrication, giving the inter-dot spacing in dots per centimetre (dpcm) or micrometres (µm). A resolution of 72 DPI for example equals a resolution of about 28 dpcm or an inter-dot spacing of about 350 µm.

Conversion table
DPI
(dot/in)		 dpcm

(µm/dot)
72 28 350
96 38 265
150 59 169
300 118 85

Famous quotes containing the word proposed:

    “There never seems to be any difficulty in stretching the laws and the constitution to fit any kind of a political deal, but when it is proposed to make some concession to women they loom up like an unscalable wall.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
