Does anyone have any information that suggests that's wrong?
The addressable resolution is 720 by 720 dpi... so a one bit file at that rez
will print as sent. For higher bit files, the issue is less obvious, but a
simple ceiling of 720 dpi is pretty certain, and for color files 360 is
likely to get you all there is to get.
