Sorry, as I was waiting for the bus home yesterday it occurred to me that  
I had written something wrong... I should probably be more careful with  
arithmetic so late in the afternoon :) Not sure where the 1/128 came from,  
it should of course be 1/192 (half of 1/96). Though 312/192 = 1.625 still  
rounds to 2, and with Kenneth's percentages it would as well (60% would  
give 1.95 and 70% would give 2.275).

Not that I know, but it's basically just a linear relationship with a 1/96  
inch pixel size at 28 inches viewing distance, as indicated by other posts.
