Digital BW, The Print

Hi guys...   Durst is like the the LightJet... the 300 to 400 dpi resolution
is the file's resolution needed for output... although you used to be able
to send 105 dpi files as it has amazing interpolation technology.

The output resolution is mute... it's something like the equivalent to
4000dpi I think. But of course I could be out to lunch.

It's the same as with the inkjets Harvey... a file of 240 to 480 or more as
the files resolution output to your ink jet at the optimal printing
resolution for that particular printer...
