Neil, your eyes may be getting weak. 133lpi screen is very easily seen. it takes me a few seconds to see 150lpi screen. 175lpi and 200lpi have become the standards now. If you want to compare 4 color offset to 4 color inkjet, the inkjet anly has the advantage in screened text. But with 6 color and eight color inkjets, they surpass offset in many aspects except when it comes to non-screened edges. Another aspect to consider is the ink. offset ink is oil based. inkjet ink is water based. It would be like comparing a watercolor painting to an oil-colored painting.
