Hi Daryl
I have a long history in graphic repro and publishing, and can confirm that
the figures for offset printing (posted by Garry S) are widely used.
Actually, I find the timing of your posting quite bizarre, because I'm
currently writing about this topic.
Anyways, have a great week!
Friendly Regards
Nigel

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
