Was shopping for printers today, and got to wondering if marketing speak was being treated as "fact"...
Here's what I found:
Manufacturer ((print-o-tron)) describes a printer on their own website / product page as:
"Resolution: Up to 1200 x 1200 dpi effective output"
And then retailer ((cheap-price-deals-on-stuff)) has a listing which states:
"Black Print Quality: 1200 x 1200 dpi"
Elsewhere on the ((print-o-tron)) website, they list a higher end printer which can handle color, faster output, etc...
Though now a distinction is made between fact and marketing speak:
"Resolution: Optical: 600 x 600 Enhanced: Up to 1200 x 1200 dpi effective output"
Once again, retailer ((cheap-price-deals-on-stuff)) uses the same wording:
"Color Print Quality: 1200 x 1200 dpi"
And then I decided to compare a different manufacturer, let's say ((ultra-printer9000)) ... According to the manufacturer ((ultra-printer9000)) website / product page for one of their printers:
"Resolution (black): Up to 600 x 600 x 2 dpi (1200 dpi effective output)"
But then looking to the retailer ((cheap-price-deals-on-stuff)) website:
"Black Print Quality: 600 x 600 dpi"
