Lines Per Inch Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Lines Per Inch (LPI):

\[ LPI = \frac{DPI}{16} \]

Where:

\( LPI \) is the Lines Per Inch (lines/in)
\( DPI \) is the dots per inch

Lines Per Inch Definition

Lines Per Inch (LPI) is a measure of the resolution of a printed image or a display. It indicates the number of lines of dots that can fit into one inch. This metric is often used in printing and imaging to describe the quality and clarity of an image.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Dots Per Inch \( DPI \) = 320

Step 1: Use the lines per inch formula:

\[ LPI = \frac{DPI}{16} = \frac{320}{16} = 20 \]

The Lines Per Inch (LPI) is 20 lines/in.
