- Inkjet printers typically offer 1200dpi or higher, up to around 4800 dpi.
- Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is 212 ppi.
- Apple iPad Retina is 264 ppi (older iPad 2 is 132 ppi).
- Apple iPad Mini is 163 ppi.
- Apple iPhone 4 & 5 is 326 ppi.
- HTC One is 468 ppi.
- Per Ray Soneira, human vision is at best capable of resolving 600 ppi from 10 inches.
