So, someone, somewhere is making 1440 CMYK dots per inch out of the
~300 RGB dots per inch in your image. That's my point -- there is
some sort of Raster Image Processing going on at some level, albeit
NOT by a third-party RIP.
Images aren't made out of dots. It's made out of pixels. 300 pixels per
inch is substantially different than 1440 dots per inch...
So comparing 300ppi to 1440dpi, 300ppi definitely has more information in
it.
I think we're in heated agreement. You trimmed the rest of my point,
which was that there is some sort of raster image processing
(RIPping) going on to get your screen resolution (dots, spots,
pixels, whatever you want to call them) transformed into the printer
resolution.
This is getting pedantic. I'm outta here.
