Where do you find an impact matrix printer with 360 dpi?

Please, don't name NEC P6 or similar printers. They might be able to
position with a precision of 1/360 in, but their dots are much wider
than 1/360 in. They are simply not 360 dpi printers, they cannot put
360 dots in one inch (yeah, that's *d*p*i*!) without gross
overlapping.

(Just a pet peeve of mine... ;-)  The person who cannot distinguish
its impact printer output from an HP LaserJet III (with RET) might
want to check his METAFONT mode definitions for the latter. They are
clearly distinguishable -- the former is _much_ bolder.
