Which statement is true about DPI?

Question

Options

• AHigher DPI requires more data, creating larger print jobs.
• BDPI is dependent on the imaging system that is used (laser or LED)
• CAll network printers are limited to 600 x 600 DPI resolution
• DHigher DPI provides higher print quality

• A
  91% (31)
• B
  6% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because DPI (Dots Per Inch) determines how many ink or toner dots are placed per inch of printed output - the higher the DPI, the more dot data must be generated, transmitted, and processed, which directly increases print job file size and network traffic. Option B is wrong because DPI is a resolution specification independent of the imaging technology; both laser and LED print engines can achieve the same DPI values since they differ in how they expose the drum, not in the resolution they support. Option C is false - many modern printers support 1200×1200 DPI or higher, so 600×600 is not a universal cap for network printers. Option D is the trickiest distractor: higher DPI can improve sharpness, but it doesn't guarantee higher quality - if the source image lacks sufficient resolution, increasing DPI produces no visible improvement and the statement is not universally true.

Memory tip: Think of DPI like pixels in a photo - more detail = more data to store and send. When in doubt, "more dots = more bytes" points you straight to A.
