The definition of a hairline is the thinnest possible line which the output device can create. That’s fine with a laser printer, even at 1200 dpi, but with our 2540dpi platemaker, you’ll end up with a line so thin, it won’t be visible, or it will break up. You have a dedicated small army of prepress operators here looking out for hairlines and the other issues listed here, but we won’t mistakenly overlook a hairline if you’ll be kind enough to set your thinnest line to .35 pt for coated paper, or .4 pt for uncoated paper.
