You should ask the company your working with that question. Depeiding on
the type of printing they will have specific info.

Hi Richard,
That is certainly good advice.
However, my niece is a freelance photographer. She is frequently
compelled to deal with printers. She claims that what she usually gets from
them is a jumble of double talk about dots, AM spots, FM spots, magnificent
RIPs, phony ink jet proofs which do not match the print, hot air about
resolution without knowing if they are talking half tone cells or microdots,
etc, By now, I no longer know what she is talking about either.
As a result, I have put the following post in the PhotoPaint news group.
Could you comment on it. It was intended for raster images. I am not quite
sure how it would relate to vector images. Thanks for any comments.

"The words DPI, dots , FM spots, AM spots, micro-dots, mini-dots, tiny
dots, pixels, lines, screening, etc have divided the world into armed camps.
I advocate an intergalactic peace keeping army to enforce the use of a
single word. That word should be "pixel"'. Pixel means picture element. As
a temporary measure, we can allow printers and ink jet manufacturers to put
an adjective in front of it as in "printed pixel".
If need be, we must use torture to get printers and ink jet
manufacturers to confess that their drivers and RIPs have been secretly
converting the pixels per inch in our files to their pixels per inch. That
is how they get a one to one correspondence between pixels and FM spots or
AM spots.
It should be pixels from start to finish."
