>Has anyone used any of the Adobe versions of the mentioned type families-- >Garamond, Caslon, Minion, or Utopia--on standard 300-dpi laser printers? >If so, could you share any particular good or bad experiences? I do not have, but have seen, Adobe Minion printed at 300 dpi then reproduced in a newsletter. The reproduction was by offset press, not xerography. I was impressed by the absolute lack of jaggies at that resolution. No, amazed would be a better way to put it. I am also fascinated by Minion, because it is SO absolutely without noticeable "character." It absolutely does not call any attention to itself. If you are looking for a very readable face that doesn't distract by standing out, this seems to me to be a perfect choice for 300 dpi. -- -Brian Diehm Tektronix, Inc.
