It comes to it that you will not be able to just change the dpi in Photoshop expecting to keep the same size increasing the dpi as the dpi is produced while rendering and can't be faked expecting to achieve a better quality in a Image application, so this would not make a better quality of your Image. true dpi are generated when rendering, the higher the dpi the smaller your render square will be.

THANK YOU Cyogreem!!! THANK YOU!
I had a feeling I was conversing with just web image posters but thought for sure some of the old professionals we used to converse with some years back were still around, some of those who render for comic books, some of those who render for editing into video (not just Instagram or YouTube posting). But it looks like most of them are either gone or stay lurking as I have these past many years.

@RedPhantom ; No, can not see much via your samples, however Cyogreem's example Do show the difference between a 72px/in and 600px/in very well and noticeably.
The primary issue that I have with Printing and not knowing ahead of time what Poser is doing is that when I print I am not printing to ordinary typing paper or even photo paper; my purpose is to print to a special paper (Pearl Matalic) that is expensive and gives the best print when the image is of high quality. Poor resolution will show more then would on everyday paper.

However, the angry one had shown a way to 'change the dpi without changing the paper size' in Photoshop (I have acknowledged this multiple times now). But as Cyogreem points out - 'Changing' values in an Image Editor does usually open up the can of worms of trying to "fake resolution". There are high end image apps for this but even then it is always a 'Best Effort' (however some of the new, expensive apps do pretty darn well).
So the question still remains: is Poser 12 actually Rendering anything other then 72px/in
When I find time to set up a good test to do an Extreme Zoom in on I will see.

@JoEtzold again, I will offer you again a thanks for pointing out "Resample" in the Image Editors....sorry if the rest was over your head and you are unable to 'see' yourself what we are discussing since you are not even using P12, But I will keep my further discussion of Poser 12 with those who are Actually using the program, thank you.
