In comparing TeX output, using identical .tfm and .pxl files between LN03s
and Imagen 12/300 printers, I see a clear difference in the "thickness" of
the characters---yet they are both Ricoh engines, and as I thought I
understood, they are both in the same write light/dark realm..

To my (uneducated) eye, the 12/300 output appears a bit too thin.

Could someone please tell me if there is indeed a significant difference
between these two different models of Ricoh engines?
