[QUOTE="giulio, post: 416008, member: 28677"] You can't directly compare an infinite-dpi ink and paper to a 72-dpi light emitting device. Consider: A) When creating letters on a piece of paper, we do not need things such as anti-aliasing. So to make the screen letters look as much like those on paper, we have to do some tricks. B) Making fonts a little greyer than black will help text look more like pencil / graphite. Which is not pure black. C) If you notice really close - antialiasing doesn't use a flat blend of text color - to background color. Colors are actually used. See attached image, a blow up of the letter "M" that I typed above. [ATTACH=full]6140[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
