Austin,

I never said it was "Marketing Garbage", I said it was Madison Avenue Marketing Hype.

There are many ways to interpret and advertise a product. If the head prints at 720dpi then it prints at 720 dpi. If it makes two passes and infills to obtain the equivalent of 1440 dpi then the clain that the printer prints at 1440 dpi may be a bit deceptive to potential buyers that are interested in detailed specs.

I know that HP claims they print at 600dpi, they use some other technology to get dot free images, but they stilll say that their printers are 600 dpi machines.

In any event, I guess the bottom line is to get quality output from the printer. 

Happy Holidays,

Mike
