In a pure sence a printer will not "add" resolution. However the print
prossess is not just like a computer, and in the end it's how it looks
not how many dots the computer thought it had. If you look at a DYE-SUB
print like the Primera (somthing under 300dpi) and say a 300 dpi color
print from a injet you can dramaticly see resolution is not the only
issue. Also when you take a file to a slide it does effectivly incress
the resolution. This may all be to what you call "anti-aliasing" however
if it looks good and it works.. I would not call it limited, just
diffrent from how Mac based user's do it.
