Sorry this is late (coming after the summary), but seeing all the
references to "book quality" made me want to add my 2 cents:

In the phototypesetting business, very few people will accept less than
1000 lines/inch for their originals.  Two typesetters, the Alphatype CRS
and the Compugraphic 8600, generate 5000 lpi.  It's possible to generate
1000+ newspaper lines/minute at 1000lpi using a text window of 1 inch
for $70,000.  (The photographic paper moves past the window.)

Somone with better contacts in the industry may be able to provide more
info, but I'd say "book quality" is a long way off for workstations...
