What Does DPI Stand For
DPI is a short form of ‘Dots Per Inch’. You set your pictures DPI, which is a way of setting the resolution for your image. To print a design, designers need to make sure that the design is in high resolution. If the DPI for an image is not set to a number good enough, then the printing outcome of your design or even the image will turn out in its worst form, and I don’t think anyone wants that. The higher the DPI, the better the printed product.
Reasons Why You Must Set Your DPI at a Good Resolution
The foremost reason for choosing a higher DPI is that when your work gets printed, the dots per inch (dpi) is so high that the prints are clear and flawless.The size of your hardcopy that gets printed is also affected by the DPI that you choose. So choose wisely.
What is the Common DPI Used by Designers
For most of the designers, the work gets printed at 300 DPI. This has to be the best level of output for any sort of printing. This brings clarity to your work and makes it look professional. Look at the images below to see the difference between a 300 DPI work and 150 DPI work. The image above shows you an example of an image made in Adobe Photoshop at 150 DPI, that is the image on the left side, and 300 DPI, which is on the right side. There is a visible difference in quality. You can notice that the one on the left is more pixellated, and does not seem to be very smooth in comparison to the right image, which is less pixellated, is smoother and looks more clear. Clients on big forums like Fiverr or elsewhere, want their work to look as smooth as the right image, or even smoother if made in a higher DPI quality. This is why using the right DPI for your image is so important.
