definition[edit]

AIUI a letter quality printer is simply any printer that can produce similar quality to traditional metal print. Its not a certain printing mecahnism or family of them. The reason the term sees little use now is because nearly all printers today are letter quality.

Ie it appears the article is entirely wrong, as it stands. 82.31.66.207 (talk) 21:34, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to disagree. Say, TROFF community seems to distinguish "letter-quality printers" from "typesetting quality".

That is, most printers today are far, far better than "letter-quality". Lockywolf (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:07, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NLQ vs LQ[edit]

When does it cross over from NLQ to LQ? Is it at a specific DPI? For example, 300 dpi seems to be considered a good print resolution. Is that LQ? How about 167dpi? 2600:8800:7000:33:0:0:0:144 (talk) 19:10, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
