If I'm not mistaken the Durst Lambda has a stated dpi of 300 (or 400?) and
it's really continuous tone for all practical purposes, so I think "stated"
dpi is one of those misleading specs (dare I say, marketing ploys ;-)) in
this industry. Consider also that the stated dpi is the same for an Epson
3000 as it is for a 1270, but their output is miles apart.
