Question What means 4800¹ x 600 dpi in printers?

[pc-hardware]

Hi dear friends.
I know that a DPI is Square. For example: 600×600 or 1200×1200...
Why some pronters have non square 4800¹ x 600 dpi parameter why its not 600×600 or 4800×4800?

DPI is dots per inch, which is the resolution if you will of the print, independent of how big the final print will be, every inch has that many dots, this is one single number for example 600dpi and not 600x600dpi.
The numbers you are listing could just be the max print size they are capable of.

Those are the number of dots that a printer can handle horizontally and vertically, usually professional printers for vey high resolution graphic works.

Thank you so much.
PPI and DPI is Square or rectangle shape?

Neither.
Dots Per Inch.

Square or rectangle applies to pixels on your monitor.

For example 1200 × 600
Means: 1600 dots in X and 600 dots in Y ?

Now ok... Thank you so much dear friends ❤

Truth being told they aren't true 4800 printers. They just refresh the led 8x (8x600=4800). So the vertical dots kind of partially lay on top of each other as the paper moves. It leads to smoother output along the vertical axis, but it's not true 4800 vertical rez. Sort of like 4k projectors that use a chip shift to produce a pseudo 4k image.

When you say "square", the DPI has to be like 600 x 600, 750 x 750...

Thanks Alot for your good Explaination 🌹🌹

That depends on the printer/screen and pixel geometry. PPI is usually reserved for screens. DPI is usually for printers. The tend towards squares though. Makes drawing things like circles easier when the ppi is the same vertical and horizontal.

This is a really complicated topic because of things like pcl, vector output, and color dithering/alaising.

But basically a higher res in one direction will lead to smother lines on vector output and text along with better more distinct color gradients.

But a non true square resolution is not as good as a true resolution class. It will lead to blurring.

Thanks To all Friends as Replied to me... Sorry if my english is not good ❤ god bless you all 🌹
