Todd,
That's not necessairly true. For example, the screen is 640 pixels
wide, while lots of dot matrix printers are 980 pixels wide. They just don't
divide evenly. So even rounding off and saying the ratio between the screen
and the printer is 2 to 3, what do you do with a single pixel? Do you print it
as 1 pixel or 2 pixels? What about 3 pixels…do you print them as 4 pixels or
5 pixels? Do you do a 1 to 1 dump? Then what about the 1/3 of the printer
width that isn't being used. I think the main thing to be realized is that
this isn't a photograph…it's computer generated graphics and there is some
difficulty translating screen pixels to print pixels when the ratio between the
2 is not 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 where the translation is easy.
