My Samsung does 1200 DPI.
I'm not sure if it yeilds any better print from 600 DPI for making boards unless you are using 1 mil width traces.
But 3 years ago you couldn't get this resolution for the price.
Back then I picked up a CLP 300 color laser for $60 on a closeout deal and the few times that I used it ,it worked good aswell.
I believe the resolution 600 X 600 for black and 600 X 300 for color.
It made great looking prints but the toner is quite costly for it.
And I never got to use it but for a few test prints as I ran out of toner printing color pictures.
The one test I did do for boards was a test print of its character set and I was amazed at small the detail of the puncuation marks that had transfered to the board such a the comma ,period and semicolon.
They were so fine the I couldn't imagine that they would still be there after the etching process and that was at 600 X 600.
The noticeable imperfections on my finished board is from me touching up a few spots with a marking pen other than that they turned out great for my two very first boards so I am sure my technique will get better as I get experienced making more of them.
