Surely 1200dpi is resolution enough to get exact and predictable output?
It certainly should be, or there's something wrong with it. That means a
stem with Finale's default thickness has a width of about ten dots - in
other words, there shouldn't be a visible difference between two printers.
It seems to me that different printers are built with differing
impressions of how to define "1200dpi" -- is that in a square
(1200x1200), or is that across a single line of dots, 1200 of them
across but with a smaller number up and down in a vertical inch?
And one more thing which seems to make a difference -- are the 1200 dots
packed "shoulder to shoulder" right across, or do some manufacturers, in
an effort to claim longer toner output actually make their dots a bit
smaller so there's a tiny bit of space between the dots, still providing
1200 of them to an inch, but just using smaller dots?
As Inigo Montoya said so appropriately in Princess Bride: "I don't
think that means what you think that means."
