beginner's printing question (i990)

[JaaP]

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hi there -

For maximum quality, what dpi should I size my images (with Photoshop)
at, when printing to my Canon i990. -300? 360? Beyond what point does it
not make any difference in quality but does it just slow things down?

Many thanks

There is no need to go above 300 ppi In fact you may not see anything
better above 250 ppi. Now Dpi is what the printer sprays ink at Photo
quietly is called best and about 1200 drops per inch. Don't confuse PPI
resolution with The Printer's own DPI settings.

nothing like a clear, conscise answer.
