Funny that the "native resolution doesn't matter" myth keeps popping up every 5 years or so and I have to debunk it. Since the (incorrect) notion that somehow printer drivers have gotten better (at interpolation) over the years might catch on, I thought it might be time to debunk the myth again in my July article:
http://ddisoftware.com/tech/articles/july-2011-restless-natives/I actually wanted to test it again anyway since it has been a while. Thankfully (for me and Qimage) the drivers are just as bad at interpolation as they've ever been.

Yes, that was the part of little interest to a Qimage user and I think some non-Qimage users were enlightened by the discussion. For as long as it goes I guess. There were some interesting bits on deconvolution sharpening though.
While I could get very definite aliasing results with downsampling 2400-1200-600 PPI line targets to the HP Z3100 driver straight away (Z3200+K5400 too), Qimage on Windows Vista 64 and all extrapolation off, it was not so printing from Photoshop CS5 on the latest OS-X to an Epson R2880 and R3880, 1440-720 PPI etc to 720-360 PPI requested input. Some blurring or anti-aliasing is happening then and I can not figure out in which part of the route that is happening. I had not enough time to find out by printing from another application for example.
Back to the topic of the original message, is there a solution for the print properties menu position?
met vriendelijke groeten, Ernst
