Dots Per Inch (dpi) or Pixels Per Inch? (ppi)

Long before there were computers or monitors or pixels, there were "dots per inch." Printers used this term referring to how many dots would be used to print. A higher dot amount per inch would be a higher resolution print. While an every day magazine would print at 150 dpi, an art print might print at 400 dpi. It referred to printing plates and the films that were used to make the plates.

Somehow or other, people who had no idea what they were talking about, started using the printing term "dots per inch" to refer to "pixels per inch." While completely irrelevant to each other, since images have "pixels" not dots, the dots per inch term has stuck and been picked up by other people who do not know what they are saying and means the same thing as the term "pixels per inch."
Pixels per inch = Dots per inch.

October 24th, 2007: Massive evacuations of record numbers of people in Southern California because of wild fires. The largest evacuation in California history. Hundreds of houses destroyed. Insurance will probably cover the replacement of their houses and belongings. The only insurance that will replace their precious photo collection is if they had their slides and photos digitized and have copies of them stored in a safe deposit box or at a friend or relative's house.

Let Us Digitize Your Family Photo History.
The way we look at pictures has changed. Kodak doesn't even manufacture slide projectors anymore. Now we have DVD players and digital video projectors and devices that allow us to hookup our digital cameras to our PC's and TV sets to view our home movies and pictures. What about all your slides, negatives and prints? Your slides, negatives and prints have not changed. They are susceptible to fading, mold and mildew, flood, fire, hurricane and just plain neglect. There are probably millions of people in the Gulf Coast that are wishing they had gotten their photos converted to digital before Hurricane Katrina, last year.
