    So "print resolution" is meaningless apparently

    Within each lens, there is room for only so many frames. If the lens count is 50 per inch, then at 100ppi printing I could cram 2 frames. True, I don't have to care too much about resolution here. For 50 line/inch lenticular sheet, I resolution along one axis is fixed at 50ppi I'm using 2MP...

    Thank you! Yes even 300ppi is okay if you only want to transition between 2 frames, but for 3D views consisting of a dozen frames 300ppi is insufficient. Thank you for the sources!

    So "print resolution" is meaningless apparently

    Films with lower lines per inch (LPI) are available, but they are obviously more granular. However they are fine for viewing further back. Maybe my strategy then will be to find films with lower LPI and make larger prints: I can't make the print resolution smaller but I can make everything else...

    So "print resolution" is meaningless apparently

    This is not "pixels per inch", it's just pixels. I need the pixels printed on paper at a certain density. What to call pixel density? Pixels per inch seems reasonable to me. PPI Now I know that DPI refers to the number and density of droplets which affects the quality of the color mixing, but I...

    So "print resolution" is meaningless apparently

    Sounds like I would want to know the PPI limit of a printer rather than the DPI, however printer manufacturers don't spec this and instead spec DPI, but based on your description I'm not sure why the DPI would ever be quoted in the first place. It doesn't matter if you can place 10 dots within...

    So "print resolution" is meaningless apparently

    Thank you for the replies and the information! Even people printing nice photographs only use 300-600 DPI, but I am trying to make a lenticular prints that would benefit from resolutions far beyond what the human eye can see, so that's why I'm looking for a superprinter. I had come across that...

    So "print resolution" is meaningless apparently

    Hi all. I am trying to print very small features. No problem I figured, since lots of printers claim very good resolutions. So I bought an Epson ET-2800 because it's print resolution was spec'd at 5760DPI. I thought that this meant that the printer could print features at that scale. How naive...
