Of course you can input 400 dpi to an inkjet if you wish, but it doesn't seem to make it any better. However, the output drops of ink per inch is more like 14400 or 28800. I guess that that's irrelevant with a laser printer? Is the output continuous tone? Paul On Feb 8, 2007, at 6:29 PM, William Robb wrote:
