Hello,

Interlacing in printing and scanning is a common technique to achieve variable resolution - it is used in many high-end products. What is important how many Dots Per Inch are on the paper at the end of the print.

Correct me if I am wrong.

  Austin,

  I believe the you are missing the point.

  Epson claims 1440 or 2880 dpi. It is Madison Avenue hype. They figure that if 
  their printers print at 720dpi and they then let the head pass twice in 
  essence they have 1440 and so on and so forth.

  HP and Encad print at 600 dpi. They specifically say they will not quote 
  inflated dpi numbers as hype.
