From: Mike Urban <trwrb!trwspp!spp2!urban@ucb-vax.arpa> "The new Apple printer has 300 dots/inch resolution. That means 90,000 dots per square inch. Multiply that by the 8.5x11 inches of a standard sheet of paper and you'll see why Apple needed so much memory in its new printer. The HP Laserjet is character-oriented. It needs more memory if it's going to do graphics. I'm sure HP will do something about that. " *Real* typesetters consider 300 dots/inch to be far too little; but give the micro world a couple more years and nearly anyone will be able to typeset a book."
