A laser printer IS a dot matrix printer. 360 dpi is 360 dpi. The photocopying to make the darkness uniform (assuming that it is a high quality copier) should make the outputs fairly indistinguishable. Laser printers have their advantages, but they're not magic. They are dot matrix printers. (Sorry, but it's a pet peeve of mine that people don't think of laser printers as using a matrix of dots.)
