Ha! Yes I was looking at the fax section (which is limited by the T4 and 
T30 ancient FAX specs)

So 1200x6000 is very decent, but you still have the "size of dot" issue.
One thing you can do is photo paper, which has less bleeding/absorbancy 
than regular paper. - Make sure to select the photo paper type driver as 
this prints a lot more slowly to minimize the amount of wet ink sitting 
on the paper.

A pro printing shop will have a loupe with a ruler in it so you can 
measure the size and bleed of dots from your paper.  Walmart (not a pro 
shop) will do an 8x10 for $2.89 .  Photo chemistry is going to give you 
the best true resolution. (Although I don't know the resolution of the 
Fuji gear at Walmart, in 2000 they used our Gretag[1] boxes which did 
true 4800x4800).

superior intelligence of the Swiss engineers who used the width of 
molecules in their chemistry calculations.
