What am I missing here? I have been under the impression that printer 
resolution and file resolution are two completely different things; that 
printer resolution is a measure of the density at which it lays down dots 
of ink; and that, with Epson, any file information above above 360 ppi is 
discarded. In other words, if I have a 72 ppi, 8 x 10 file, and I print it 
at the highest Epson setting (in my case 1440 x 720), I would get a very 
faithfully reproduced low resolution print, jaggies and all. Have I been 
mistaken or am I misinterpreting what is being said in this thread?
