Digital BW, The Print

Hello All,

In the August 2002 issue of the Digital Imaging Digest (which is
written by the folks at the PMA - Photo Marketing Association) they
cover quad tone printing among others and in the article they mention
Jon Cone's Piezography system.  They attribute the following quote to
someone from Cone's company:

""Unlike the Iris process, PiezographyBW does not use a dithered
pattern. It is as close to silver properties as possible.
PiezographyBW's perceived resolution is greater than the human eye. It
renders more than 1,000 gray values in 8-bit mode. The new
PiezographyBW Pro24 renders more than 4,000 gray values in 16-bit mode." 

My question - Aren't all inkjet printers required to use a dither by
definition?

If any one is interested in the entire article contact me off list .

Thanks,

Richard Cooke
