There are a few higher resolution laser printers. Data Recording Systems
has a 800x800 bpi unit, PrintWare has a 1200x600 bpi unit etc. Higher
resolution will bring better typography but sooner of later the marking
process comes into the picture. Laser Phototypesetters and Imagesetters
on photographic materials operate as high as 2540 bpi. These units do
NOT print on xerographic engines, however. I assume from your question
that you were looking for laser xerographic printers like the DRS and
PrintWare units. Halftones still leave something to be desired due to
the particle size of the toner.
