Digital BW, The Print

You CAN see a difference between 360 and 480 DPI, but you would have to
study the print from a couple inches, and really look hard. The
difference isn't worth the trouble; its VERY tiny. One place it would be
better would be if you had extremely small text. Other than that, 300 is
plenty for Photos. Even 240 is pretty good for photos.
