400 dpi LightJet = 4000 dpi Inkjet

"Using red, green and blue lasers, the LightJet achieves true continuous-tone photographs without visible dots. Inkjet and electrostatic printers, which simulate photo quality with half-tone dot patterns, would need to image at 4000 dpi to duplicate the same image crispness, highlights and shadow detail."

This isn't correct. Inkjet printers use stochastic dithering, not half-tone. This makes for a far finer dot pattern. There are plenty more dubious factoids in that pdf document, but I don't care enough to dissect it. This isn't to say Lightjet prints aren't great, but stick to the facts, Oce!
