Unfortunately for us PCB homebrewers , inkjet manufactures are not going 
to optimise their products for highly accurate and fine line image 
artwork. The market is to create prints intended to be viewed from the 
naked eye and which resolution requirements have already long been met. 
There is no need for them to improve line edge jaggedness, ink drop 
placement accuracy, or absolute resolution at the expense of print speed 
and colour rendering.
Its annoying that these printers are probably capable of being lot more 
accurate for no extra cost. Its just a case of adding a specialised 
operating mode of the software. Oh well..
