How many dpi must the printer be able to handle for 10mil tracks ?

I tried to print out a 600dpi bitmap and even a1200dpi image of my board
at the public library, and the area with fine tracks didn't look uniform:
some of the 10mil tracks coming out from a microchip footprint with a pitch

of 0.4mm were thinner than others, and also the spacing between those
tracks was irregular.

Thanks,
Alex
