Lilypond produces PostScript (or PDF) which means it has infinite
sharpness. It is the reproduction device that controls how the result
looks. If you use a professional quality printer the result will be
splendid. Maybe you can contact a real printer (not the copy shop at
the end of the street) and ask whether they can produce high qaulity
prints on manually factured sheets of paper.

Of course, if you want to feel the print you need to etch a plate and
use a real press. But I'm sure that there are PostScript driven
etching devices for this purpose.

Or maybe I'm dreaming as well ;-).
