How many years away are we (or is it even going to happen) from a 300dpi desktop? i mean, 300dpi is the right sort of resolution to print at. screens and desktop areas are currently only 72dpi. when you pick an image off the net to print, it's going to be a quarter of the size you see it if you want to print it.


i was thinking about this when i was taking a screen grab of my work - the screen grab wasn't printable, because it was a quarter of the resolution of the carefully planned 300dpi work.

will a 300dpi desktop ever become a reality - it seems like a natural destination for progress on the desktop, and needs another of those often talked about progressions - the scalable GUI. i want to work in 300dpi, i just hope i get to see it before the decline of my career...

any thoughts? or any rumours or projects of 300dpi development?
