I guess the best way would be a vector design from Illustrator 
with Siemens stars etc and rasterise that to 360 PPI  + 720 PPI 
in Photoshop. An artificial photo like landscape made in a vector 
program would be a nice addition to that design. Starting from 
that you know that the rasterisation is a one step process both 
for the 360 and the 720 PPI version.

I like the idea that my 9000's and the 10000 don't have more than 
360 PPI native resolution, doesn't raise the question whether I 
should feed them more than that.
