Digital BW, The Print

But is "Good enough" good enough for you? if you have tiny text or
diagonal lines, you are definitely losing quality at this setting. Just
try it yourself and see. Print a test print with 5 point text, and with
a single pixel diagonal line. 
You will see the difference between 240 and 720 dpi quite clearly. even
480 will be a lot better. If you are printing a photograph only, 240 is
"good enough" for most people, I agree.
