Reply To: InDesign/Prepress Myths

Well thanks for the pick-me-up, Mike. Being out of prepress for a few years and the old noggin can't remember it all.

So the basic Myth of image resolution is that it should be 2xlpi and the fact is that mathematics proves that it should be 1.41 (or the square root of 2) x lpi = dpi of your images.

And finally I've got the last piece of the puzzle to why it's 1.41 and not 2.

@David – it's unfortunate about the halftone gremlins in the printed book on the top topic of halftones and scanning – it's ironic to say the least. But I guess these things just happen from time to time – no matter how good you are, how much you know or how well you prepare, sometimes there are things just out of your control.

Well thanks for clearing up the info on the resolution question.

very much appreciated.
