Not to nitpick, but having a degree in printing from the great school of Western Michigan University, let me assure you that printers DO care about DPI. If you have a 6"x9" book cover image, the only thing that matters is DPI. If you send a 72 DPI photoshop document to the printer, it's gonna look like crap. I will grant that you can take that 72 DPI image and shrink it down to 3"x4.5" and it'll look better but that's not the point. If you want it to look good at 6"x9" you have to have a higher resolution than 72 DPI. And any printer you call will say the same thing. Rick Side Note: Western Michigan University also has a paper science and engineering program, and has both a pilot papermaking facility and a printing facility, making it the only university in the world where you can take in a truckload of trees and take out your printed product.
