I think I have heard on add-on boards for the HP LJ4M that increases the DPI from 600 * 600 to 1200 * 1200? I need every DPI I can get out of the printer for B&W photo printouts (from my Scanjet 3c, what a wonderful scanner!). Do you know were to start searching ? Anyone with experience of such a 1200 DPI board? Best / Bo Wannerberg / Stockholm / Sweden

I have no personal experience, but several people have mentioned LaserMaster LaserMaster Corporation 7156 Shady Oak Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 800-365-4646

I get 1200X1200 out of a Laserjet II, so, yes, it's possible. I use the LaserMaster Truetech boards. LM is the best one to check on this. Laserpix is another you might see advertised. Its output is stunning but its printer drivers are totally proprietary and its board is expensive; thus, if you, say, are waiting for a WIN95 upgrade or something, it means your investment is totally wrapped up in their board and decisions. LaserMaster has supported every upgrade within weeks of release.

Jack, I thought the highest DPI for LJII's and III's with WinPrint from LaserMaster was 800 DPI and to get 1200 DPI you had to have a LJ4? You're getting 1200 DPI with a LJII? How long have you had this setup? George

It's easy to do, but I'm not using a WinPrinter, for which your figures are correct. I'm using a Truetech board, which is a professional level product (40 megs and a 68020 on board! Kind of a Mac on an ISA board…) and priced accordingly. Even then, you're right, the best I can get MECHANICALLY is 1000 dpi; the other 200 dpi come from LaserMaster's resolution enhancement.
