Yes, in a world of compressed images. However, your average print shop would rarely used compressed graphics for printed material. "dots per inch" is a reasonable measure of quality when you consider that you're taking a 2100x1500 image and printing it in the space of 7"x5" (300dpi) or 14"x10" (150 dpi).. keeping in mind that the halftone screen used for high quality printing aren't usually much over 150 lines per inch. "dpi" is merely a representation of actual pixels to the space allotted for printing or viewing those pixels.. so "density" is a pretty good word.
