DPI means dots per inch. Generally the more dots per inch the printer can print the better the printing quality will be, but I don't think you can really see the difference between a 600 dpi and 1200 dpi.

The previous answer is mostly correct. The higher the DPI value, the better. (600 x 600 DPI, by the way, makes no sense).

I disagree with the previous answerer's statement about being able to see a difference in quality. The difference between 600 and 1200 DPI visible to the naked eye; to some degree even the difference between 1200 and 2400 is visible, especially on graphics.

Offset type -- the printing process used for magazine -- is considered to be about 2500 DPI resolution.

Thanks, but I wanted to know the different between the two presentations :

600*600 and 1200. Can I assume that 600*600 is 360000 pixsels?

Thnaks,

Lior
