any printer for micro-Printed Text?

Hello,

I need to print text in a very small font size (0.25). This text will be
readable only with a high-power optical magnifier. I tested some of the
low-cost inkjet printers, yet none of them have the required resolution. Is
there an inkjet printer good enough for such a task? Most inkjet printers
claim to have the resolution needed, yet these printers are designed for
printing photographs. I calculated that I need a resolution of 2400 dpi x
2400 dpi (true resolution). Thanks for any help you can give me.

Maybe, but I've looked and found nothing suitable. Machines to make
printer's plates and microfab photomasks have the resolution but not
the media you want. For example, look at
http://www.himt.de/en/home/ Besides which, they're absurdly expensive.

If you find something useful please post the news. Many folks besides me
would be interested.

You need to find a modern Xerox production printer that's equipped with
its Speciality Imaging features, specifically MicroText.

Thanks. I looked and I looked, but found nothing but very expensive
solution, and specialty media. Another post referred to a Xerox product for
microText, but the link he gave me is a broken link. Anyway, Xerox is a
lead for both of us to research. I will let you know if I find something.
Please let me know if you find something.

Thanks. I think you gave me a key. I started researching this already.
