[Digital BW] Re: How tiny dots determine real resolution in a B&W ink print

2008-10-03 by Tyler Boley

Yes, Bruce is right.
There is another entire project involving native printer/driver
resolution, the potential benifits of giving it info at that res, and
if so how best to get there.
Definitely beyond the scope of those tests. I chose to overwhelm the
drivers with info so there could be no doubt about giving them enough,
and also make the potential relevance of the file detail essentially moot.
Obvioulsy each driver has it's own methods, but I think letting each
do it's thing in this case is also part of the evaluation. The intent
of the testing was very specific, but implies many other issues beyond
it's scope.
