- handelaar 17y agoFor values of 'better' meaning '30% lower', sure.
- riobard 17y agoNo. 300 DPI printing is not the same as 300 DPI on screen, because one dot on screen can be multiple colors (depending on the color depth, typically 16,777,216 can be expected), while one dot on paper is, well, either black or white. So for the same DPI, screen outperforms paper. 250 DPI on screen will definitely beat 300 DPI on paper.
- DougBTX 17y agoAfter a quick search, I see you can get a 1200 dpi black and white laser printer for less than $100. Colour printers can overlay colours or pre mix the ink.
- mcantelon 17y agoSo a color laser printer do dithering?
- jrockway 17y agoYes. There's a reason why photo printers are inkjets; you can mix liquids on the paper. Toner does not mix.
- lispm 17y agoyeah, but unlike paper you can't see anything on it in bright sunlight
- ptomato 17y agoIt's an OLED, which tend towards being extremely readable in sunlight.
- mariorz 17y agoyes awesome! since your fingers don't get any smaller, maybe that's why they decided to put a trackball on a cell phone. perhaps there will also be a separately sold stylus.
- jrockway 17y agoYou can't use a stylus with a capacitive screen.
- protomyth 17y agowell, there are styluses for built for capacitive screens, check the local Apple store POS.
- awa 17y agoYou can with wacom screens which are capacitive and support both stylus and fingers
- jonknee 17y agoCintiq displays require a stylus. There are buttons on the side you can tap with your finger though.
