- I am fairly sure I have managed 360x180 on my Swift24 since RO3.1
- but I could be wrong. If the printer uses interlace to get the 360x360
- (which the average 24 pin DM will do) then it is definately not a good
- idea to try colour at this resolution. The yellow part of the ribbon (and
- the others to a lesser extent) get extremely mucky in no time at all when
- you play around with interlace. Your ribbon will be all but useless after
- a page of full colour (eg. a scanned sprite) and they are not cheap
- to replace that often.
