DPIとPPI

定義

DPI(ドット毎インチ)は印刷出力の解像度、PPI(ピクセル毎インチ)はスクリーン表示の解像度を測定し、どちらも画像要素の空間密度を表す。

解説

Print at 300 DPI is considered photo quality; newspaper print runs at 85–150 DPI. Apple coined 'Retina display' for screens above ~300 PPI, where individual pixels become imperceptible at normal viewing distance. The iPhone 15 Pro screen is 460 PPI. Confusingly, 'DPI' is widely misused to mean PPI in software settings—they are conceptually distinct but numerically interchangeable in digital-to-print workflows.
