About Pixels per yard
The pixel per yard (px/yd) is an imperial resolution unit used in textile printing, wide-format graphics, and fabric digitising, where roll widths and run lengths are measured in yards. The yard is exactly 0.9144 m = 36 in (Weights and Measures Act 1963; NIST Handbook 44), giving 1 px/yd = 1/36 PPI ≈ 0.02778 PPI. Wide-format inkjet printers (Roland RE-640, Mimaki JFX200) resolve up to 1440 DPI = 51,840 px/yd. Fabric digital printers for dye-sublimation operate at 300-600 DPI ≈ 10,800-21,600 px/yd. Flag and banner printing standard for photographic quality at 1 m viewing distance is ≈ 720 px/yd. 1 px/yd = 1/36 PPI ≈ 0.027778 PPI ≈ 1.111 px/m.
About Pixels per metre
The pixel per metre (px/m) is the SI-coherent form of image resolution. Because 1 inch = 0.0254 m exactly (international inch, 1959), 1 PPI = 1/0.0254 ≈ 39.37 px/m and 1 px/m = 0.0254 PPI. EXIF (IEC 61966-3) stores resolution as pixels per inch (ResolutionUnit = 2) or pixels per centimetre (ResolutionUnit = 3); px/m is used when normalising to SI for scientific or GIS workflows. Satellite remote-sensing GSD is often given in metres per pixel (the inverse); WorldView-3 at 0.31 m/px panchromatic ≈ 3.23 px/m. An A4 document scanned at 300 PPI ≈ 11,811 px/m. 1 px/m = 0.0254 PPI ≈ 0.00254 px/cm.
