-sigh- Blaizer. Printer DPI is not the same as pixels per inch. This image should explain enough: 200PPI is enough for a print and even 100PPI could be okay for a small run thing like a company flyer or school magazine, but it's kinda pushing it. Ideally you want source images 300PPI or higher for prints, but at some point…
That image you posted has enough pixels for a much larger print. Much larger. A 300PPI print already has smaller pixels than a human hair. You don't need a 9600PPI image. You need a 300PPI image printed on a 9600DPI printer so you have 1024 color variations. As to what is better? Well, if you're going to print at too high…
Yes there is. Because the printer needs those dots to get color depth. It's even on the fricking manufacturers' sites. http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/print-solutions/print-solutions/colour-printers/CLP-415NW/SEE Which gives 600x600 pixels of 16x1 dots. 16 colors being, of course, 4 bit or 2x2x2x2 colors.…
i perfectly know that snader. You also don't get what i wanted to say, but the image you posted is perfect. As i already said, one pixel may be hundreds of dots. In that pic less... :) With higher resolutions, a pixel can be very close to a bunch of dots. What is better?, a pixel represented by 8x8 dots, or 200x200dots?…
I didn't say anything about how printers print hehe. Actually, most home printers offers a print resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi, that's a insane amount of detail (ppi are different, so it's a marketing number :S), so the bigger the resolution of your image, the better (but it depends of the size!!). A 3000px image looks…
