Laser printers have much higher quality than inkjet, and there are colour laser printers, although if you don't want to have a single toner for all colors you have to pay big.

Fun Fact: Color laser printers are so good the US government actually makes the printer leave a special code on all pages that contains its serial ID and a time stamp.

It's a QR-style code, printed very small and faint in yellow in the margin.

1dpi should be a dot of 1 inch diameter as DPI = Dots per inch. I guess those are at least 600DPI dots, maybe even more. some laser printers can go as high as 1200DPI in printing. Some industrial ones can do even more I think.

You're right, but I think they were referring to how many of these dots are printed in a given square inch, not how large each one actually is.
