Hey Susan, great podcast, thkans. This is an area that particularly interests me, both because typography is a hobby of mine, and because so many designers get this stuff wrong.One thing: I think quoting a difference of ~100 ppi screen resolution compared to 1200-2400 ppi print is a bit misleading though. For one thing, most print is 300-600 ppi, not 1200-2400. For another thing, as the article you link states, you only really need 200-300 ppi for very legible text. And after 600 ppi, you really can’t tell the difference in most cases. So the gap isn’t as wide as it sounds screens have maybe six times less resolution than printed media, at best. And of course, screens like the iPhone 4 s Retina display have >300 ppi resolutions, so there’s definitely no trouble with reading text on those. It’s only larger screens that have problems.Kind regards,Bnonn
