I've discovered with my Personal Laserwriter NTR that I get the best
results by reducing the image to 72 dpi and then converting to a bitmap at
300 dpi with a diffusion dither. Either way, make sure you adjust the
brightness of the image, otherwise the print is too dark and a copier will
make mud of it.
