Uhhh, I have a problem with that.

I used to work for a company that did work with color film recorders
and it was generally accepted that Ektachrome 64 ASA film max'd out
at about 5000 dpi.

Of course Genigraphics will sell you an 8000 line film recorder, but
you need 4 x 5 flim to USE that kind of resolution.

Disclaimer: No, i never used a microscope and *counted* the d's per i.
Another Disclaimer: We used those wretched Polaroid Palette's so this
                    was hardly an issue for us.
