Digital BW, The Print

Hi Kevin,

Depends on the printer.  You can do the math...if it's a 720DPI printer,
that's 360lp/inch, divide that by 25.4, or 14.7 lp/mm.

Yes, but can you notice it...probably with a loupe.

No, that's a fixed number that the mechanicals of the printer provide.

Resolution/sharpness, yes.  Number of tones, probably minimally, and tonal
transition...not sure what you mean.
