Illustrations in electronic publications and paper editions? (take II)

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

David Neeley caught me in a howler: <<Among some very good and 
(typically) well-explained points that Geoff made, I ran into the idea 
that one prints (presumably via offset press) at "75 lpi screen". While 
the "gold standard" for maximum quality for print is indeed double the 
output resolution, I have rarely seen 75 lpi offset for illustrated 
manuals. In fact, newspapers and other web press output is generally 
higher than that. >>

Indeed, and I blush to have committed that error. You're right that 133 
or 150 lpi is the standard for offset printing with any degree of 
quality; 75 is for newspapers. That'll learn me to post in haste on the 
way out the door.
