Version 1.3 of MacPaint already prints pictures at twice screen
resolution on an ImageWriter. The printer is capable of printing about
144 dots/inch if it makes two passes over each line, and MacPaint seems
to make some semi-intelligent decisions about whether to insert a dot
between two dots in the file. This gives more contrast between black
and grey, makes round objects look rounder, and even makes letters look
better. I would be interested to know just what this algorithm is,
though.
