Maybe I ought to go haunt the > Usenet Aladdin list? (I hate Usenet). The HP Deskjet 890 series printers and above achieve 600x600dpi black and I think 600x600dpi color. The 870 series did 600x600dpi black and something like 320x320 color. The numbers you see on the outsides of the pretty boxes mean precisely jack. An Epson printer that claims 1440x1440dpi doesn't appear to do as well as an HP that supposedly has a resolution that is 4 times worse. Thats marketing for you, though. You pretty much just have to see things with your own eyes to make any real comparisons. I just noticed HP is claiming 2400x1200dpi on some of its higher-end printers, but I'm betting that means (just like the Epson printers), they can position the head at that resolution, but they can't spit a dot onto the paper that small. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
