Title: Up Rez figures for HP printers
Post by: brianrybolt on January 30, 2017, 09:15:22 am
I have the Jeff Schewe Up Rez figures for printing in LR for the Epson Printers.  Can anyone tell me what they are for a HP Zxxxx series printer?

Thank you in advance.  Brian

Hi Brian,

HPs are typically 300 and 600 PPI native resolution printers.

Cheers,
Bart

Bart's numbers are correct though an older version of the Z3100 driver could ask for 1200 PPI input at its highest printer resolution settings, Best+Detail+More Strokes. It is reduced to 600 PPI in the latest drivers for the Z3200 and Z3100.  The printer's droplet/dot resolution has been reported as 1200 dpi in all the drivers.

Already mentioned in another thread here; Qimage Ultimate recently got a new feature, Overdrive, that sends 1200 PPI to the HP driver. Mike states that printer drivers know a higher resolution setting that becomes active when the 2x input resolution is dropped on them. This has only sense if adequate image resolution is available and the inkjet paper is capable to show that extra detail.
