Sounds like many people are in for a shock the first time they take a
good look at the output of a 600 dpi printer...

  Within a day of the arrival of our first HP 4si/MX, people were down
on their knees begging for half a dozen more. As the person who
performed the initial tests, I was begging the loudest. We've been
bitten by the floating-point bug once, but right now I consider it a
fairly minor flaw. So much else about it has been done right that I
don't want to let one bug stop us from drastically improving our
printing facilities.
