PPI vs DPI: why they are not the same number
PPI counts source-image pixels per print inch; printer DPI counts physical output dots. Compare the units, formula, example, and conversion boundary.

Three guides explain PPI versus DPI, exact pixel math, target-density decisions, and what arithmetic cannot certify.
PPI counts source-image pixels per print inch; printer DPI counts physical output dots. Compare the units, formula, example, and conversion boundary.
Read guideFollow pixels = inches × PPI in all three directions and keep centimetres, millimetres, and whole-pixel rounding explicit.
