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
(dot/cm)		 Pitch
(µm/dot)
72 28 350
96 38 265
150 59 169
300 118 85
2540 1000 10

Famous quotes containing the word proposed:

    “We have no one to blame for the Kennedys but ourselves. We took the Kennedys to heart of our own accord. And it is my opinion that we did it not because we respected them or thought what they proposed was good, but because they were pretty. We, the electorate, were smitten by this handsome, vivacious family.... We wanted to hug their golden tousled heads to our dumpy breasts.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
