Think about the rest of the equation...how is the plumbing in the head 
designed? Are there right angle turns the ink must negotiate as in the 
1160 and the 1280 just below the nozzle and what diameter are they in 
x-section? Or would the 2 picoliter restriction occur only at the jet 
endpoint? I hear a rumor that the 2000P has a gentler ink path for 
example. Perhaps if Epson designs a pig printer for their own inks the 
print head would be more condusive to fluid flow.

And unfortunately, I don't think you can use mathmatics to solve that 
one. You're back to trying it and see... 

More stuff than just jet size to worry about. It's important, but I 
would also worry about plumbing path in head.
