Digital BW, The Print

Brian,
Some while ago on this forum we discussed 300ppi vs 360ppi. You refer to 
dpi and the thread (see next) is about ppi. Are you mixing the two - 
it's easy to do. DPI is about ink (dots per inch) and is different to 
PPI which is about pixels per inch. Apologies if you do know this and 
aren't confused. Anyway the thread may shed some light. It's at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/message/67841

If this link doesn't work the I started it at message 67841.
