Yes, but in the end you still get a rendering of 96
dots per square inch in your printed screen captures.
They may be printed at 600dpi oe 120 lpi, but they are
still renderings of a 96 dpi base image. Therefore you
gain no clarity between GIF (a bitmapped image format)
and JPG (a bitmapped image format).
