2022-06-29T07:18:17.477+00:00 Dear Mr. John,
Thank you very much for your reply.
After reading these instructions, I changed the resolution to 300 dpi, but was wondering if it is possible to set a resolution higher than 300 dpi.
I will try changing it to 600dpi as in the instructions.
Sincerly,
Takayoshi Enokido-

Then, once you shrink back to the desired 1x size, you will get the desired 600-1200-2400 resolution.

2023-07-13T03:25:29.9+00:00 I set the DWORD to 600 and got a 600 p.p.i. export. Windows 10, Microsoft 365 Version 2306 (Build 16529.20154 Click-to-Run). Sorry, I don't know why you might be having a problem with this setting.

That should be entirely dependent on your printer driver.
Have you contacted support for your printer? -
