Sup /hr/?
I'm getting a shiny new 1200 DPI color laser in a few days and I wanted something to test it out. I'm looking for something insane res and clean (not a scan). Subject can be anything but I'd appreciate sexy females of the real or drawn kind.

In return here's something cute.

1200 DPI? lulz, even for a laser, ink jet was made for hi-rez stuff, I get 5760 x 2440

Ok, it might not have as high a res as some inkjets, but I do prefer laser over inkjet

Knows nothing about printing. I get over 9000x9000 dpi, yo! That higher number has to mean something rite?

There is a practical maximum for dpi, and it's probably around 1200x1200. Much more and you'll need a magnifying glass to tell the difference. For 8.5x11 you're still looking for something ~6000px high though to really challenge it. Try this on, it's not that huge but if your printer can render the details like the shine on the edges of the eyelids, or the tiny body hairs, you've done well.

What sort of printer is it?

Oh, and print some proper vector graphics on it. Not like png bitmapped output of vector images, but actual svg/eps/ai files, rendered directly.

no you don't, not in color.
>you'll need a magnifying glass to tell the difference. wrong again.
you are most likely confusing input with output

Seconded.

And yes, 423850 is an idiot. I only hope he finds that out.

OK, here's the deal. Your printer is 1200DPI. You want to test it out, presumably at the maximum DPI.
Most high res anime pic scanners (me included) only scan in stuff at 600DPI.
Most printed books achieve 300DPI printing, max, so we usually do not scan 1200DPI (600DPI is enough to ensure we capture everything we need; 1200 is too much processing and usually not too good for the resulting resolution).
What you are looking for is a scan of a film-sourced photograph (not a poster, not a magazine, or any other printed artifact) or a real object (like money, circuit board, etc).
Not many people will be able to access a film photograph of sexy females unfortunately.

Note the above only applies to scans. I wouldn't know much about whether digital photography would have the resolution you want.

Where the file comes from won't matter as long as it's sharp (digital camera, large-format film, etc.). Just print it smaller and the ppi goes up (pixels per inch).

The DPI make sure you print with high settings or the printer might use less than 1200 dpi (dots per inch).

Anyway, you can at most reproduce 300 ppi with your fancy new printer (and that is indeed enough) as it usually requires 4 or 6 dpi to reproduce 1 ppi.

Main thing: don't confuse dpi and ppi ;)

I recommend all of /hr/ to read and understand the wikipedia articles for dpi and ppi. The dpi one has a great image towards the bottom showing the difference ;)
