4- Two errors that occur while changing printing quality
In printing, we deal with a world of Halftones or Dots. By putting together many Halftones, you will get a Matrix or Screen, and that Matrix will play a key role in determining the printing quality. Considering various criteria, if you don’t choose the right angle for the Dots and Halftones, your final print will receive a lot of damage.

The quality of a picture has a direct connection with the resolution. But how do we adjust the resolution? Is 300PPI good enough for an exquisite print, or should you choose another number to determine the quality? Where did this 300 come to the printing grammar, and based on what we define resolution? All of these questions have occurred to the mind of the reader, and to answer them we have to go through the printing process. The prepress world is full of laws, and resolution is one of them.
