It is true of inkjet printers, but printer resolution is way above the camera's sensor resolution when you are making 8x10 prints. The printer also doesn't have the same gradiations in tone that a pixel (camera or display) does and the dithering process has nothing in common with the bayer process used by cameras. Other printers can print full color at each of their pixels. alex
