Addressability and Dot size

Question

Explain:

a) Addressability

b) Dot size

c) Inter-dot distance

Answer 1

Addressability:

The Addressability is the number of individual dots per inch (d.p.i) that can be created. If the address of the current dot is (x, y) then the next dot will be (x+y), (x+y+1) etc.
 
Dot size:

Dot size may be defined as the diameter of a single dot on the devices output. Dot size is also called as the Spot size.  3
 
Inter-dot distance:
 
Inter-dot distance refers to the reciprocal of addressability. In case, the addressability is huge, the inter-dot distance will become less. The inter-dot distance must be less in order to get the smooth shapes.
