There's nothing inherent in the xerographic process (ie, using light to
control the amount of electrostatic charge remaining on a pre-charged
surface such that it ultimately determines how much pigment/toner is
delivered to the print medium) as employed in recent laser printers and
copiers that would limit resolution to 600 DPI.  Indeed, I've heard of
some industrial quality xerographic printers that (IIRC) had resolutions
approaching 10,000 DPI in at least one dimension.

Therefore, if it seems that you're enjoying arbitrary restrictions that
always limit you to 600 DPI I'm guessing that they're, um, arbitrary.
Maybe some sort of CYA lowest-common-denominator phenomenon?
