    Ahh.. I've just realised that 5760DPI does not equal 5760 Pixels per inch.

    What a spaz I am.

    Each pixel in a digital image can be one of millions of different colors. In order to produce the correct color for any given pixel in an image, your printer needs to combine multiple drops of ink ("dots" of ink)). So, you'll need many drops of ink (i.e. a high DPI)
    to produce the correct color at each pixel location. You will not be able to produce a 5760 PPI print using a 5760 DPI printer. At that resolution, each pixel would be rendered with only one drop of ink.
