I thought you would be amused to know that your grid PDF is helping me
choose a printer.  My faithful Dell 3100cn died yesterday, so I need a
replacement.  We have a new Brother MFC-9970CDW at work that I like, so
I ran your grid through it.  Even at the 2400 dpi setting, the lines in
your grid are dithered at what appears to be an unacceptable 150 dpi. 
The dither pattern is so obviously visible under a magnifying glass that
it looks like an embroidered cross-stitch.

BTW, the others in my office think I'm too picky.  They may be right.
