Digital BW, The Print

Nelson,

I remember doing several tests early last year printing the same file at 
360ppi and 720ppi. While I could distinguish some differences in 
microfine details when using a loupe there was no way I could see any 
difference at any reasonable viewing distances. After that I decided to 
just scale all my files to 360ppi at print time and not worry about it.
