Do you happen to know whether or not this preview file is a copy of the original file but 'rendered' at 72DPI rather than the final copy which is mostly likely to be 300+ DPI for printing ?

there is no dpi or more accurately ppi until you print. everything is always done to the original image.

Until you print... or display an image on a monitor screen. Same thing, and a different value for DPI/PPI.

Now Floyd thinks the DPI information saved for an image file is in any way related to the physical PPI of the screen. Isn't he adorable?
