I just bought the NIK plug-ins for Lightroom and in the sharpening module it want to know the resolution you are printing at.

The Canon spec sheet says it is 4800x2400 but according to NIK thats not it but they could not help beyond that.

If anyones know what setting to use on this printer that would be great!

Thanks

Try 2400x1200. Both Canon and HP prosumer printers work with a basic resolution of 600dpi. My HP delivers "effective" 1200x1200. I read some where that the Canons were at 2400x1200 dpi.

Anyway, when viewed at 100%, print sharpening will look "crunchy", but will look fine when printed. Experiment until you get it right.

So, I'm curious -- I don't have the Nik software or the Canon printer so that dialog is unfamiliar to me. Is this a special Nik dialog for choosing print quality settings, like I see in my print driver to choose between Draft, Normal and Best quality? And, if it is Nik, do similar choices get presented for other printer models?

As far as I know it's standard, during the webinar they selected a setting for an Epson and it is identical to the one shown here

Epson print resolution values are based on multiples of 360 or 720. Canon and HP are based on 300/600. You should email NIK tech support and ask them what they recommend.

If the default list of common print quality settings doesn't include what your print or printer needs, you can specify custom values and save them as a preset.
