I’m shooting a 5x8 grid (40 thumbnails) on film using a Nikon F100 + AF-S 105mm Macro.
**Goal:** Maximum clarity and resolution. I need the individual thumbnails to stay sharp when magnified.
**The Dilemma:**
1. **Shoot the Screen (ASUS ProArt 5K):** Will the macro lens resolve the screen pixels/sub-pixels and make it look digital and high quality when magnified? 2. **Shoot a Print (Canon Pixma G4470):** Using glossy paper. Does this 4-color tank printer actually have higher resolving power than the 5K screen, or will the ink dots/dithering look worse?
Which source gives me the highest effective PPI for this macro shot? #hobby
