What is print tolerance? Is it the same as minimum line weight?

[AlexRossi76]

I was wonderding if print tolerance and minimum line weight the same thing?

If not, could someone please explain the difference between the two.

If I understand your question correctly...

"Tolerance" would be an acceptable range of deviation from a target. E.g. A target for line thickness would be 1 mm but a final line thickness range from .9 mm to 1.1 mm would be acceptable.

"Minimum line weight" would be a mechanical or imaging limitation. E.g. A device may be incapable of imaging a line weight (i.e. line thickness) of less than 1 mm.
