The only resolution that interests me is pixels per inch, and that's nowhere
near 720 ppi.  If it is even 200 ppi, I'd be surprised.  I can easily see
the masses of ink dots under a loupe, and even with the naked eye.

They must be _very_ recent, because nothing I've seen up to now has been
that good.

Except that the resulting prints would be useless after six months.  A nice
print that only lasts for a few months isn't much better than a long-term
print with metamerism.
