A laser printer in the 300-400 dpi range will NOT give results as good as a FAX. Your fax machine is probably 100x200 dpi resloution. A 300 dpi printer, has 300dpi at 1 gray level. at 64 gray levels, it will have around 37 dpi, which sucks. if you wanted t, and it was physically possible, you could print out your pictures on the printer at 64-gray levels at twice their size, then reduce them to normal size photographically (or xerographiclly) This gives results that are (barely) newspaper quality. -- Mike Schechter, Institute for Sensory Research, Syracuse Univ. isr@rodan.acs.syr.edu -or- msschech@rodan.syr.edu
