If there are any differences due to interpolation they would be very small
and only visible on the miniscule differences on edge data that was
transformed. You'd have to really want to go fishing for the differences
even to see them and possibly only with a loupe.
On the other hand print quality resolution can create differences in color
and grey balance due to the modulation of the inkjet droplet placement at
higher resolutions and also linearisation of course.
