Hi All:

www.scantips.com says the following for photos & greyscales:

Laser printers, b&w or colour:
300x300 dpi - 100 dpi
600x600 dpi - 150 dpi
1200 x 1200 dpi - 200 dpi

Commercial offset printing:
Image dpi should be 1.5-2.0 times the lpi spec of the printer

Dye sublimation printers:
Around 300 dpi

For line art (strictly b&w):
For laser printers- The dpi of the printer, although 600 dpi at most is usually 
enough.

Commercial offset printing:
800-1200 dpi

Dunno how correct it is, but it does accord with material I read on HP's site 
some years ago.

Garry
