Re: Making black transparencies

A very high resolution projector or monitor would be 1280x1024, do you agree?

Some here have tested Laser printers and found 600dpi models to be wanting, 1200dpi being de rigueur.

So that is only about 2x1.5 at 600dpi, 1x0.8 at 1200dpi.

A monitor is normally around 72dpi to 96dpi.

A clever thought, however.
