POD technology for color machines typically print at 600x600dpi x8 bit. The iGen 3 dpi is 600 x 4800. Litho presses typically print at 1200 dpi (most commonly 2550 dpi) or up depending on the RIP and the settings. POD technology is approaching Litho and we see vast improvements each year given the market demand for Print on Demand products.
