Well, yes, they do. But AFAIK, that recommendation is for Epson printers, and most certainly for certain Epson printers (I cannot say that is the recommendation for all of them). However, the experts I use have also suggested other dpi figures for different printers.
So, what works perfectly for certain Epsons may not be the ideal setup for another brand or type of inkjet. Rob at The LightRoom in Berkeley suggests 300dpi for one of his other printers. As for the "experts" not quite knowing how an inkjet printer works, well, that may be true for some so-called experts, but the guys Bill and I are talking about have a lot of practical experience, and their work shows that they, indeed, know what they're doing. For myself, I don't give a rat's ass about the theory behind inkjet printing, I only care about the results. And, subscribing to the concept that "good enough" ain't good enough when it comes to producing excellent quality prints, I'll stick with what my ignorant experts suggest as long as the results are top notch. Rob has made test prints for me @ different dpi, and I can see the differences. Sometimes they're subtle, but they exist. You should print at whatever dpi makes you happy. The only thing that makes me happy is the highest quality, and if it takes 360dpi to do it, then so be it. Perhaps because of my ignorance and stupidity I believe that print size, subject matter, paper type, and the type of ink used, may all contribute to one degree or another towards what might be an ideal or acceptable dpi choice.

It's about the drivers and heads somehow.
