Printer DPI, whats with the wierd numbers?

Post by tekgek »

Hello, all,
Just when I get a break, something happens. ](*,) My printer broke, and I decided that I am going to get two printers: one monochrome laserjet, that will be used most of the time, and one color laserject, that will be used only for color printing. (Somehow, it saves money, and allows two printers to be used at once). However, I have been looking at dpi resolutions, and there are some weird numbers. The printer that I am looking at, both are Brothers, the HL-2170W, and HL-4040CN, both ahve resolutions of 2400X600 dpi. Does this mean that I have greater horizontal resolution, and less vertical resolution? If this is so, is there a good printer that has good vertical and horizontal resolutions? If I am wrong, sorry that I am a printer n00b!.

Thanks,
Tekgek.
