Note that bloat's purpose is to account for variations in dimension,
not density.  It can "fix" some postscript interpreters that are off
by a pixel (at 600dpi, that can be significant) or compensate for
over/under etching in your process.

I've yet to be able to convince any modern laser printers of mine to
put down more toner per mm2.
