Title: 600dpi canon vs 720 dpi epson Post by: SANDPIPER on July 17, 2009, 07:12:17 AM Greetings all
from reading material about qimage, it appears that the native resolution of canon printer is 600dpi versus 720dpi for an epson printer. Would this mean that a canon printer has an advantage over epson printers for large prints because they need less pixels from the camera to achieve the same size print at native resolution? Regards Phil btw..how was 720dpi arived at ?...up till now i have usually been told that epson wide format printers were 360dpi Title: Re: 600dpi canon vs 720 dpi epson Post by: Ernst Dinkla on July 17, 2009, 07:43:16 AM Greetings all from reading material about qimage, it appears that the native resolution of canon printer is 600dpi versus 720dpi for an epson printer.

Regards Phil btw..how was 720dpi arived at ?...up till now i have usually been told that epson wide format printers were 360dpi If you select something like Finest Detail in the Epson driver menu you will get 720 PPI as the input resolution. Vector designs, small fonts, etc will benefit. No Epson driver here anymore but that is what I recall of 720 PPI on wide formats. On the HP Z drivers the choice is 300-600-1200, the last having a similar function for vector, small fonts. I'm not familiar with the Canon drivers but I guess it will be the same. Whether the 600 PPI is an advantage has to be seen, in some cases the 360 PPI is sufficient for wide format where 300 PPI may not be sufficient. But it is true that 600 PPI is excellent for all photographic work, the best paper coatings included, no need to go beyond that on Canons and HPs. There's a 45% increase in resolution going from 600 to 720 PPI input and that number will be reflected in the data to process + printing. met vriendelijke groeten, Ernst Dinkla Try: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Wide_Inkjet_Printers/ |
