You can scan a print with any resolution and you got a image in pixels. Then can print your image with resolution different from initial print.

For example lets say you scanning 9" image with 100dpi - you will have 900pixels image. But later you can print again on printer with 900dpi or 300dpi with print size of 1" and 3". So what's the dpi value for an image?
Thanks fanat9!

So you mean that Fireworks and Photoshop are wrong? I mean, they use the image DPI to represent the print size of the image you are working with (on screen). I need to do something similar to that, represent the image on screen (I don't care the resolution of the printer right now).

What you are saying is right, the scanning and printing, but I need to know if there is a way I can read the DPI, so I can do a preview on screen (and that size is the one the user wants). Then when I print the image, I will rescale it (I must mantain the size, not the dpi)

Thank you again for answering.
