DPI refers to the output resolution of an imagesetter or printer. It refers to the physical ink dot density of an image, such as when it is printed onto paper. It will control how sharp your images will print and is different to PPI (Pixels Per Inch) which relates to the screen resolution of your image, rather than the printed result.
PUBLISHER TIP DPI of images in a design file should be at least 300dpi. Images any less than 300dpi may not print sharply.
