[edit] Summary
This is an example of how scanner and printer manufacturers attempt to exceed their hardware physical limitations by using skewed resolutions that don't align on a true square grid.
These squashed resolutions like 600x1200 cannot really duplicate the quality available at a true 1200x1200, and the results are often only marginally better than the true square 600x600 resolution of the hardware.
Created by Dale Mahalko using Microsoft Word 2000, since I don't have a formal drawing program, and I'm not willing to fork out cash for a commercial one, for stuff I am doing for free for Wikipedia. Word page zoom set to 200%, then screenshotted and saved as a JPEG.
