	Note that for most printing methods, you don't even need that high
a resolution. That's because a printer "dot" cannot represent the
whole 16M colors that a pixel can, so you need several dots to
represent a single pixel. Therefore, you won't see any difference if
you divide the resolution by 2 to 4 from the DPI computed values.
