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.
