Someone care to expand?

Yeah yeah, it's in comic sans.
;)
Other than that, I never knew you could display an image at 7 dpi and have it still show up correctly. I did some tests though and it doesn't save file size, so I guess it doesn't matter much. Except that a lot of people have told me my web images have to be 72 dpi.
That's all the post is about. Nothing fancy!

Oh, OK.

I suspected that, but there are so many web pages in comic sans, I thought that it must be the content that was the subject of the post. Then Alessandro's post, with the comic sans reference, really threw me. I wans't sure if the content of the site was being held up for ridicule.

Despite innapropriate typeface selection, scantips is a great website. Its been around for years, and is the place I point people to when they get a scanner for the first time.
As someone who is often surrounded by computers, I'm regularly asked by friends, relatives etc to choose/buy/configure/mend a computer for them. Whenever this involves a scanner, I point them to scantips.com and save myself lots of explaining about resolution vs dpi etc.

Comic Sans aside, he's got a point. He's absolutely correct about dpi on the screen. But I think he should maybe cut back on the coffee or something.

Apologize, Mr. Steve Paxton.
I didn't read that Scantips page at all.
Mine it was just a silly comic post n'I was sober.
Anyway what shown was a letter set in Holy Sans
with a scanned "holy logo" from the Parish
of the district where I live.
Dave Combs wonders if they'll make "No 72 dpi"
stickers and t-shirts, and often he gets files
from customers that are supposed to be "print ready"
and they are 72 dpi, RGB. He said it's a real pain
in the butt.

Best,
AS
