在Java环境中,可以使用 java.awt.Toolkit.getScreenResolution()可以得到屏幕每英寸的象素数,但是好像没有什么方法能知道某一台打印机的分辨率,更别提去控制打印粒度了。于是可耻的使用着丑陋的缺省打印精度几年后，终于找到了解决方法，不知道该高兴还是悲伤，其原理说出来也是非常的简单：
提高打印精度，其实就是把本来是A3纸的内容往A4纸里画，也就是说，打印区域（这里对应着Java里的Graphics对象）需要缩小，然后由于缺省情况下打印是照72DPI来打的，不做改变的话，打印内容也会跟着变小。这样就不是我们想要的效果了，所以还得把打印内容成比例放大。一个缩小，一个放大，于是画完后，在指定大小的纸张内，便容纳了比以往更多象素的内容，这下世界总算完美了。
以上做法形象的说应该是这样：把需要产生的图形对象先放大，画在一张“纸上”，然后整体缩小，这样精度就提高了。
tips 1：在一般企业报表表格打印中，使用144DPI得到的表格线的宽度看起来最舒服。
tips 2：现在号称600DPI的打印机其实是576DPI，如果想使用这个分辨率的精度，需要用好一点的纸张，因为已经到极限了，纸张稍差点，打印墨粉就沾不上，导致线体残缺。
附源码（修改分辨率就改动变量iResMul就好）：
