By contrast I'm greatly impressed by the accuracy of laser printer output.  
Some time ago I used a drawing programme to generate a 360° protractor 
calibrated in half degrees.  Two copies were printed on OHP film and these 
could be placed one on top of the other in any orientation and they matched for 
'circularity' (if there is such a word) and with every degree coinciding 
exactly.

Impressed!
