Can't grasp relationship between image resolution and printer DPI
#1
Hello there,

I want to create an image that will be printed in a 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. My printer (an entry level color laser printer), can print at 600 DPI. I want to print the entire image to occupy the whole paper looking sharp and crisp (as far as my printer allows it). If I set the size of the image to 8.5" x 11" with 600 DPI, the result is a huge image that is difficult to manipulate since I'm going to be using lot of warp tool and filters.

So how should I proceed?

Should I forget about the DPI setting until I finish creating the image?

Again the image I'm creating is not to be seen on a screen but to be printed.
