I'm not sure who wrote this, but it's simply wrong as a general statement.
The printer resolution really has nothing to do with how many distinct tonal
values can be printed, only the dithering algorithm does, and it is
technically infinite.  If you want more tones, you simply use more area.  Of
course, smaller dots (and more inks) allow you to use less area to represent
the same number of tones.
