First of all DPI stands for Dots Per Inch which is more often assocated with the resolution that a printer can print at. When refering to digital cameras DPI is also a measurement of resolution. However, when discussing resolution, often times the better the resolution is the better the picture will turn out. The only problem with having a high resolution camera is that if the printer that is used to print off can't print at the same resolution that the camera took the picture at, the quality of the picture won't be as good. If you are going to look at buying a digital camera the better measure of resolution and quality is usually megapixels. It depends on what you are using the term to describe. The term photo quality really does not have a specific definition. Exact usage is dependent on the user or equipment manufacturer.
Many scanner manufacturers describe a scanner setting of 300dpi as photo quality because they say that higher settings do not enhance the quality of the resulting scanned image when stored as a .jpg image (the most common consumer picture format). Others describe 600dpi scanning as photo quality when scanning photo negatives.
Printer manufacturers describe various print resolutions as photo quality depending on when the description was written. These have included resolutions of 600dpi in the past. Many color inkjet printers tout print capabilities of over 4000dpi. Laser jet rprint resolutions seem to have a baseline of 600dpi. The subjective quality of a printed photo will depend on the technology (laserjet, inkjet, dye sublimation,etc) and quality of the printer.
Photo Quality depends both on the input source (scanned photo, scanned photo negative, etc) and the output source (computer screen, printed digital photo, etc). When using computer screens, IPODs, and digital picture frames you are using a limited number of pixels up to a bout 2 megapixels on the larger computer screeens and much less on IPODs (because of the screen size), so higher resolution will gain you nothing. For most consumer usage, scans and prints of photos made at 600dpi resolutions will be more than adequate.

What type of device will have DPI data?
DPI - is an acronym for 'dots per inch'. It usually relates to the resolution of the printed output from printers, or the input resolution of scanners.
What is self bias common collector?
The picture quality is not that great but here is a drawing of a self biased common collector BJT http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/200/selfbiasedcommoncollect.png/
What is the disadvantage and advantage of photo diode and transistor?
photo diode donot work for long distance photo diode act as a receiver
Can a short circuit current through a photo cell damage it?
If the photo cell was on during the short circuit then the chances of damage to the photo cell are at a minimum. If the short circuit occurred when the photo cell was operated then yes damage to the internal contacts of the photo cell could have happened. What happens is, the short circuit is downstream from the photo cell and when the contacts of the relay close in the photo cell the dead short is applied to the contact faces of the relay. This is somewhat like striking an arc with a welded with the same results, the contact faces weld close and the circuits breaker trips to open the short circuit. With the pole faces of the photo cell's relay closed it gives the illusion that the photo cell is not operating. The photo cell's circuitry will be working but the relay will not drop the circuit open because of the welded contact in the relay.
Can there be 600 volt single phase power?
Yes there is single phase for 600 volts. It is used for lighting. You need a transformer which gives you 600 volts plus a neutral. The voltage for the one phase to neutral is 347.
Which document exhibits better quality one printer with 600 dpi or one printer with 1200 dpi Why?
1200 dpi because dpi stands for dot per inch, there for 1200 dpi gives 1200 dots per inch instead of 600 dpi only giving 600 dots per inch thus 1200 dpi gives a better resolution
Which print quality is better 600 x 600 dpi 2 bit or 1200 x 1200 single bit?
Print quality is better in higher dots per inch (dpi) numbers due to the amount of smaller dots used when a page is printed. Therefore the print quality would be better in a 600 x 600 dpi 2 than a 1200 x 1200 single bit.
Why 1200 dpi gives better picture quality than 600 dpi?
Simply because the dots are smaller ! The nozzles in a 1200 dpi printer are half the diameter of those in a 600 dpi printer. This allows for greater accuracy in the printed picture, and smoother curves etc.
How many pixels per inch is 600 dpi?
dpi means dots per inch. If you were to print a straight line one inch long using the max print setting (600 dpi for your printer) that line would consist of 600 dots. Fairly high quality image
What qualities should I look for in a photo printer?
DPI (dots per inch) is the most important statistic for photo printers. This is the best indicator of the quality of photo that the printer will produce.
What is 400 600 dpi?
dpi is dots per inch. 400 * 600 dpi is the number of ink dots per square inch that are produced by a computer printer.
Does 600 dpi or 1200 dpi give better picture quality?
is an abbreviation for dots (or pixels) per inch, a measure of the resolution of graphic displays so think.....bigger- the more pixles per inch is better
Is a 30 megapixel camera a good camera?
The quality of a camera depends on more than the amount of megapixels it has. With computer screen resolution at around 100 dpi and photo printers between 200 and 300 dpi, the difference in the quality of your photographs will depend more on your skills as a photographer than on the equipment. A good photographer will be able to capture a high quality photo on a 6 megapixel camera. The quality of the camera equipment will also depend on the manufacturer.
How does the Laserjet 5550 compare to other printers in terms of printing quality?
The Hewlett Packard LaserJet 5500 has high quality compared to other printers in its field as a high volume printer. It as a max resolution of 600 x 600 dpi.
What are the options on HP photo printers?
There are many options on HP photo printers. One can choose the paper size and the paper quality. One can choose the print quality as well. One can choose normal mode, best mode, and maximum dpi when using an HP photo printer.
What is the DPI of a Kodak disposable camera?
The DPI refers to the dots per inch and refers to the image resolution. It is difficult to know what the DPI from photos from disposable cameras is. The scanner however does control the DPI of the scanned photo.
Quality of a printed page is measured in dpi which is an acronym for?
DPI stands for Dots Per Inch, and is used to set the quality of printing, or to compare the quality of different printers.
