Re: How to calculate effective mil values from printer dpi

Probably useful if all you're interested in printing is isolated 
straight lines. Typically, the toner "spill" on paper for even a 1200 
DPI laser extends beyond .002". For a HP printer using micro-fine toner 
it can be more than .005" on paper. I brought this up with HP once and 
their response was that their print quality does not address anything 
that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
