The key is to remember that the ppi or dpi (points per inch or dots per
inch) is the key for how many pixels on a page. I believe most word
processing programs are 300dpi which then translates into 2400dpi. on 8"
?
?well, let's assume 1/4" margins, since that's what my printer can
?do...
?
?so that's 8" of printable area...
?
?and screen res, let's say, is 72ppi...
?
?so 8 x 72 = 576
?
?576 pixels sound right?

?? What's the maximum printable width for an 8.5" wide paper? I think I
?? remember 682 or some such... Is that right?
