Printer Resolution

Like monitors, printers are also rated by the type of resolution, which is measured in DPI or dots per square inch. Therefore a printer that may have 600 DPI is a printer that can print 600 x 600 per square inch or 360,000 dots per inch. Commonly you may notice when printing a page you may encounter jaggies that is a term often referred to text which you can noticeably tell has jagged edges to it. Because all printers print by a series of dots, printers that do not have high DPI ratings may encounter jaggies. However, Hewlett Packard developed a method referred to as Resolution Enhancement. This technology allows Inkjet and laser printers to print small dots where jaggies are noticeable creating the look of a straight line. Other printer manufacturers have also developed similar technologies often referred to as edge enhancement.
