Actually, 300dpi output in general looks very bad when offset
print. I don't work with that end of the printing business
directly, so I only have the vaguest notion of the reasons for
this (problems with the dot coding in the offset process, I
believe). Anyone thinking about offset printing something should
seriously consider paying the few hundred dollars it would cost
to typeset their book instead of just laser printing it.
