Report

Resolution
The density of dots for any given output

and graphics to have a jagged appearance.
Higher resolution means smoother curves and
angles as well as a better match to traditional
typeface designs. Resolution values are
represented by horizontal data and vertical
data, for example, 360 × 360 dpi. This unit
produces output with 600 × 600 dpi precision.
