When I was printing on inkjets I had a test sheet I'd run to test the 
performance of the printer, driver and paper. It was a simple QXD embedded with 
copies of an image that contained good detail at stepped resolutions. 
Inspection of the printed the test page revealed the optimum print resolution.

I think blanket statements regarding optimum print resolution are pretty 
useless as the printer in concert with the driver its settings and the paper 
type determine the optimum print resolution. Also I never experienced problems 
printing images with resolutions that weren't multiples of the natural printer 
resolution on any inkjet print systems.
