GOOD.  That's the key!

I have no trouble seeing the dots with my naked eye from
a distance of about 18 inches or closer.   Some people can't
focus that close; others PREFER to look close.  Myopic viewers
who wear glasses, especially with prescriptions stronger than
-4 diopters, often take their glasses off to look at photos so
they can ONLY focus that close!   As photographers we
need to be aware of different viewing styles and make prints that
accomodate them.
