PC - It's one of those things that easy for me to think of, but a pain in the butt to try and explain. Wolf - Ummm, almost. Monitors aren't set at 72dpi. There is no standard monitor DPI; that's the point. If you don't have a standard monitor resolution and size, you can't have a standard that describes how it will look on the screen. Easiest way to think about it is, if it's going to a monitor screen then you worry about the resolution; the DPI setting will have no bearing. When you output to a printer, you need to worry about resolution and DPI. -=>Donald
