How to convert microinches to points
1 microinch is equal to 0.000072 points, and 1 point is equal to 13,888.88889 microinches. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
points = microinches × 0.000072
points = microinches ÷ 13,888.88889Example: convert 15 µin to pt: 15 × 0.000072 = 0.00108 pt.
