    What Resolution = 4800x1200 DPI?

    I recently bought a photo printer that can print up to 4800 x 1200 DPI. Well I printed some pictures from my 1.3 mega pixel camera on 4x6 photos and they do not look very "photo like" I relized that my camera's resolution is too small for the printer. My question is what resolution or mega pixel size equals 4800 x 1200 DPI? I don't understand how dots per inch translates to image size. Any help would be great.

    Actually that is not what matters, you need to out put 200 dpi or 200 dots per inch to the picture size you need to get photo quality prints, IE for a 4x6 you need 1200x800 pixels from the image, preferably 1800x1200 or 300 dpi. Another thing to remember is the colour accuracy of the printer, I make prints for gallery display on a printer at 1440x1440 dpi, but with 7 colours and a 360 dpi images to the size of the paper I print to ( 13x19" ). So even if the printer can print to 4800x1200 dpi, can it produce the colour needed as well!

    Cool

    Try upping your res to 300 dpi. This is pretty much the standard for smallish photos.
