Also, I read recently (Publish?) where the maximum grey-scale gradient/shade
that a typical 300dpi laserjetII is about 15 (i.e., the printer only output from
white to black via ~15 different grey-scales).  The point being that if you
can only print 15 different grey-scales, what good is a 256 grey-scale scanner.
Similar args might be made for a scanner supporting more that 300dpi if
your printer is limited to 300dpi.  

Anyway, Is this hogwash or ?   

Thanks,

Marc Ries
