Dot pitch

Dot pitch is the measurement of the distance between a displayed dot and the next closest dot on a printer, or the next corresponding dot of the same color on a RGB monitor. Classic dot pitches were typically between 0.51 to 0.28 mm (50 to 90 dots or pixels per inch). The smaller the dot pitch, the sharper the image. Dot pitches can be measured in the following ways:


 * Dots per inch, traditionally for measuring the dot pitch of printers.
 * Pixels per inch, traditionally for measuring the dot pitch of displays.
