Re: Color: Ink Jet vs Laser?


Quote:
By contrast, photo quality ink jet printers are usually 4800x2400 dpi or 9600x2400 dpi.

Keep in mind that these numbers are not real resolution which is pixels/inch. The dpi advertised by inkjet mfgs is dots of individual colors. It may take from 9 - 12 dots to be equal to a pixel. Try and compare effective resolution which is going to be in the 300 ppi range.

Here's a decent article on the subject.
