I can also print really well to paper ;-)

I think most of the optimisation features are relevant for photo printing,  
where the printer can cheat more easily. I don't think it does much good  
to line art. But the 1200dpi will definitely make a difference, i would  
think. I especially bought a 1200dpi printer, only to find out it's really  
600dpi with "1200dpi photo quality* (* = equivalent nonsense). Well, was  
only 10eur so i shouldn't moan. (This is a Lexmark M412 BTW, i think i  
will buy HP for the next one, i liked the IIID better, it was sturdy  
enough to sit on, the lexmark is all plastic.)

Anyway, i look forward to seeing what you can do with 1200dpi.

BTW, i printed with max. density "10". This printer is not very dark, i  
can actually see light through the black fill areas but with glossy paper  
it will still work just fine. With matte paper i get some attacking of the  
fill areas.
