1200dpi overkill?

[vegabros]

Hi,

I noticed how Tokyopop's manga template asks for 1200dpi, is that overkill? Most printshops like Kinko's, ComiXpress ask for 300dpi images.

Thanks,
Leo

When you're working with fine lines and tones, it's not overkill. When you've got just flat grays or colors, 300 isn't so bad, though 400 or 600 is better. (Our covers are usually 400.)
