Probably useful if all you're interested in printing is isolated
straight lines. Typically, the toner "spill" on paper for even a 1200
DPI laser extends beyond .002". For a HP printer using micro-fine toner
it can be more than .005" on paper. I brought this up with HP once and
their response was that their print quality does not address anything
that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
