This "fake" dpi confused me. In my knowledge, the real resolution 
depends on factors like ink and paper. For example, if I use a porous 
paper, all lines will be deformed. The ink dot will be larger because 
of paper absortion.
I forgot to mention that I use an "original" transfer method whith 
combine both TT and foto method. I print on normal paper whith inkjet 
printer (at home)and than copy this print whith a Xerox on transfer 
paper (at work).

FWIW, my old Epson Stylus Photo 870 gives 1440 x 720 dpi resolution in 
B&W. 
I get *very* good results with it.

I found 600x600 to be sufficient, underetching is probably getting you 
earlier here than resolution does.
However, if i could choose, i would take a 1200dpi printer. Mine was  
advertised as 1200, but it is "fake" dpi.
