Digital BW, The Print

I did run tests. Up to 480 DPI you can see differences. The higher the
DPI (FILE size) the smoother and sharper the prints look.  Sometimes I
have 1200 DPI files, for large prints.  When I make a very small print,
I just leave it set at 1200 DPI. The prints are sharper than if you
resample to 360 DPI.  I made comparison prints from about 100 DPI to 720
DPI (FILE size) once. The bigger the file size, the sharper the print.
After 480 DPI though, it takes a loupe to see any difference at the
higher resolutions. There is a VERY noticeable difference between 240
and 480 though.

If you don't believe it,  try it yourself. Include in your print 5 point
text and a single pixel diagonal line.
