Will I see a difference in a printer with 2400dpi and one with 4800Dpi

im looking to get the Cannon 13x19 printer so last week i saw the S9000 i look back this week and i see they will have an S9100 and the only difference is the DPI now i like to have the latest stuff but but if i can save a few bucks im all for that, most of the stuff i will be printing out will be from Photoshop, illustrator, and digital images taken at 4mp and i dont do much scanning but im thinking of getting the epson 3200 photo scanner which does up to 3200 optical dpi, what do you think

dpi = dots per inch... I think?

Those numbers are beginning to mean less and less.

All the S series models output some pretty impressive photo-quality prints.



As for scanning, it depends if you're scanning from prints or from slides/negatives.

Dount it, not w/o a loupe. I don't remember who did the review but somebody tested an Epson 1270 with the newer Canon and Epson wide format inkjets. Until they magnified they couldn't spot a quality difference. The advantages of the newer inkjets aren't in photo quality it's in speed and better inks. Check out inkjetart.com for lots of good info. If you do a lot of printing the continous inking sytems are cool.

*None of this applies to HP inkjets.*

the "i" series canons are superior to the "s" series and yes you can see a difference if you are critical.

I have a i850 with continuous feed ink and so far so good. Same guy makes it for the 6 color canons too. He tells me the continuous feed on the canon is more reliable than the epsons he's built.
