  • 1. Is ProRes 1200 higher quality than FastRes 1200?
  • 2. The higher the LPI, the better the quality, correct? Thus ProRes 1200 (180 lpi) is the best?
  • I haven't gotten my eyes tested since COVID. But documents printed with ProRes 1200 (180 lpi) look WORSE to me than FastRes 1200!!! How's this possible?
