Please BL correct the misinterpreted resolution data. It is not 300dpi, this refers to drops of ink hitting each linear inch of paper when the image is being printed. You really mean ppi - pixels per inch, each of which can have as many dots of ink as your hardware can provide. Love the image, many thanks for it.
