Practically, and aesthetically, I have followed Jeff's recommendations on this issue dating back to the article in DigitalPhotoPro.
Entirely subjective of course but IMHO the results are extraordinary.
Jeff is not just a pretty face, discovering this quirk of printers and printer pipelines required a lot of insight and amazing powers of observation.
The impression at the time was that he caught out the manufacturers as well.

I have a lot of respect for Jeff and am enjoying both his Digital books.
However, I believe that Jeff would be the first to admit that he did not discover this "quirk".
The fact is that using "native resolution" for printing was well known before Jeff's 2011 article. Jeff just did not believe it and was quite adamant in many forum discussions over the years before that.
In a January 2005 article, Mike Chaney said: "...you want to use a multiple of the actual/physical printer resolution. For Canon/HP printers that would be 300 PPI for typical photos or 600 PPI for optimal quality with the finest details. For Epson printers, 360 PPI for photo quality or 720 PPI for photo quality with the finest details possible. If you use a dye sub printer, always resample to the "native" resolution of the dye sub printer, 314 PPI, 320, 480, etc. Note that depending on how effective your print driver is at stretching (or shrinking) the image to fit on the paper, you may get better results if you always resample to a multiple of the printer resolution, even if you start with a higher resolution than needed. For example, when printing to a dye sub printer that runs at 314 DPI, the 6x4 print from that 6 MP camera will likely print better if you downsample the 500 PPI image down to 314 PPI before sending it to the printer! In this case, sending an image to the printer at 314 PPI actually produces better results than sending it at the higher (but mismatched) 500 PPI!..."
