Agreed.
FWIW Best Screen proof will screen proof a 60l/cm or 152 dpi screen on an HP
5000 or 175 dpi on the Epson 10000. They had tried it at 200 dpi screens but
it is reaching it's limit already when getting that fine. I saw/assisted
printing the ripped 1 bit tiff's of this and looked with a loop. Very nice,
yet out of most desktop publisher's range. With most upcoming printers such
as HP announcing that they will make the res go up to 4800 and dot volume
down to 2 picolitres the future looks good for screen proofing.
