What is the maximum print resolution?

Published in Printing Technology 1 min read

The maximum print resolution varies depending on the type of printer, but high-end inkjet printers can achieve resolutions up to 1200 dpi (dots per inch).

While 300 dpi is a common resolution for consumer laser printers, and some higher-end laser printers can reach 1200 dpi, inkjet printers generally offer higher resolutions. This is because inkjet technology allows for finer control over ink placement.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Consumer Laser Printers: Typically 300 dpi
  • High-End Laser Printers: Up to 1200 dpi
  • High-Quality Inkjet Printers: Typically 1200 dpi

Therefore, while not necessarily the absolute maximum physically possible, 1200 dpi represents a practical maximum available in high-quality home and professional inkjet printers, and some high-end laser printers.
