The human eye has an approximate angular resolution of $\phi = 5.8 \times 10^{-4} \, rad$ and a typical photoprinter prints a minimum of $300 \, dpi$ (dots per inch, $1 \, inch = 2.54 \, cm$). At what minimal distance $z$ should a printed page be held so that one does not see the individual dots?

The human eye has an approximate angular resolution of $\theta = 5.8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ rad}$ and a typical photo printer prints a minimum of $300 \text{ dpi}$ (dots per inch, $1 \text{ inch} = 2.54 \text{ cm}$). At what minimal distance $d$ should a printed page be held so that one does not see the individual dots (in $\text{ cm}$)?
