This may seem like a straight forward question, but when I asked Lexmark and HP, their answers were vague and unhelpful.

If a printer is changed from 300dpi to 1200dpi would there be a realizable cost saving in paper and/or toner usage?

TIA,

I would think that printing to a higher resolution would increase, rather than decrease, toner usage. If the image remains the same size, with only a change in resolution, the paper usage should be the same.

Your inks cost would increase 4 times but the paper usage would stay the same.
