Hi
This is probably a silly question which should be posted in the Beginners Forum but there seem to be more experts here.
I print direct from Adobe Lightroom 2 to a HP9180. I remember reading that for Epson printers one should res the print output to a whole divisor of the printer's native resolution of 1440, i.e. 180, 206, 240, 288, 360 or 480. My question is, is this also true for printing to the HP9180, or is there another set of magic numbers I should be using? Or do I not have to worry about this, and just print at a number at or above the native resolution of the image? The documentation for the printer doesn't seem to have anything to say about this.
Second question, related to the first. When I was watching the LuLa Tutorial for LR2, there is a discussion about the best output resolution to choose in relation to the native resolution of the image. Schewe says that, contrary to previous best practice, it is recommended to upres the image by around 50%, to the nearest magic number. So for example if I had an image with a native resolution of (say) 228dpi, then the advice would imply upressing to 288 or 360. However, the whole discussion in the video is very tentative, with Schewe indicating that they were still thinking about it. Two years on, what is the received wisdom?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
