I wonder how they held the slide flat to make the print
Unless you sandwiched film between 2 sheets of glass in
an enlarger it was never flat

Is there a paid-for option which allows the TV to auto-mute every time someone mentions the #@%$*£"& Olympics?
I recorded two consecutive Lovejoy episodes last week. They
were after midnight, but I couldn't believe when I found that
there were a full 10 mins. of adverts between the two

useful. It relates to Direct2D programming.
"The term dots derives from printing, where physical dots of ink are put onto paper.
For computer displays, it would be more accurate to say 96 pixels
per logical inch, but the term DPI has stuck."
Note Windows uses pixels per logical inch (DPI) for text and scales up or down
to suit the width of the screen. Exact pixels per inch isn't
used or catered for. Fonts can be scaled in Control Panel.
MS_Link
Adobe seem to be responsible for some of the confusion... they
use ppi .... Corel and a lot of other companies use dpi

"The rated DPI of many home ink-jet printers is in the +1,000 range -
the caveat with this number is that it represents a blended dot
(overprinting a single "dot" with different colours to create
the colour that is needed)."
It was better when the printer manufacturer left out all the marketing
speak and just gave us a choice of BEST : NORMAL : EVERYDAY :

We aren't interested in how many times they can over-spray a single
DOT with ink and at what distance apart their micro-dots are

Bit useless if it does... I normally test fire a flash
at FULL power to see how long the batteries take to
charge it up again.... If it's slow I change the
batteries.

for an additional 24 BBC Olympic Channels on SKY
I said no thanks
Just found an old box of matches in a drawer I might send them
to the Olympic people..... just in case the flame goes out!

It's a right mess more like crazy paving than dots

Even the A 70-210mm is sharper than the F70-210mm, but
it does suffer from a bit of PF.
The left shots are OOF and underexposed.. no shadow detail.
Not a very decisive subject anyway.... try some postage stamps
with plenty detail and writing. Irish ones are quite good.
