DOT_LIMITSconstant

The smallest and largest radius, in millimetres, a dot of a sheet can have: the floor still prints and can be seen, the ceiling is what the brightest star gets when nothing is near it. A dot is also never larger than a third of the distance to its nearest neighbour on the page (down to the floor), so close dots stay apart.
