Rob,

My congrats also.

I did check the last issue of S&T and unless I'm reading my screen finder
wrong, it was printed at 133 LPI, which is about standard. Some magazines
might push it to 150 (or the best ones up around 175), but most I've seen
are around 133 LPI. It would be interesting to know what the journal you
refer to printed at, for comparison.
