600dpi lexmark 412.

I found that under 5mil is impossible with my current etcher anyway
because of underetching.
3.33mil will not produce a continous line after etching. (which means the
transfer is no loger my current limit ;-) ).

The silicone doesn't produce better quality than inkjet paper, but it
makes things MUCH easier and makes small spaces possible without paper
residue preventing them beeing etched properly.
