I know. I was just saying that the extra dpi, regardless of being ink jet or laser would affect the colors layed down more that the actual clarity of the image, since, by nature, fabric is pretty grainy.

Ok. My mistake.
Sometimes with photos, in flesh tones you can see distinct changes in the colors. Its kind of hard to describe.
Going from dark to lighter areas in a face for instance, you can see sharp changes in the colors. Not very natural. I thought higher dpi would make for smoother color transitions.
I doesn't always occur but when it does it always seems to be flesh tones that are at issue.

May be the nature of laser printers in general.
I know when using my HP 4550 for sublimation to metal, the toner, when trying for light colors, is sometimes layed down inconsistently.
Kind of streaky.
I don't know if an increase of dpi would help. I tend to doubt it.
