I was giving a rule of thumb for the majority of computer users not for power users like those with film scanners. I just did a quick measurement of a 15" screen which had about 10.8" visible width where it displayed 800 pixels. That works out to 74 dpi. Given variations in visible display size etc, 72dpi is still a worthwhile rule of thumb. 100dpi is easier mathematically of course. :) AFAIK digital cameras produce files which are set to 72 dpi. Can anyone who has one check this? I know it's been driving my brother nuts when people send digicam pics at screen resolutions and expect him to print them in a magazine!
