Resolution Print resolution refers to the maximum number of dots per inch (dpi) a printer creates, measured both horizontally and vertically. For example, a 600 × 600dpi laser printer lays down a 1-inch square comprising 600 dots across by 600 dots down. A resolution of 600dpi is more than adequate for most text-printing tasks. If you're printing more-demanding jobs-newsletters, for instance-consider models that print at 1,200dpi or even 2,400dpi resolution. SPEED This spec measures how many pages per minute Cppm) a printer pumps out. Today's laser printers should deliver more than 10ppm of text, with slightly slower speeds for a mixture of text and graphics.
