Re: [Digital BW] Optimal DPI

2003-02-28 by Bob Frost

Peter,

Epson state (Epson Product Support Bulletin PSB.2002.09.004) that "All Epson
large format printers use 360 dpi as the input resolution (this is the
resolution data us rasterized at), therefore when printing from Photoshop,
the maximum page length you will be able to output ot any Epson large format
printer using the standard print driver would be 83.3 inches
(30,000pixels/360 dpi). As for the Epson desktop products, they rasterize
data at 720 dpi, therefore the maximum page length obtainable with the
standard driver would be 41.67 inches (30,000/720)." They previously stated
that PS has a maximum limit of 30,000 pixels.

Doesn't this mean that the Epson drivers DO resample images to either 360 or
720?
