I thought Tyler was talking four channels/ ink delivery/ four inks/ three
grays and a black - creating a grayscale image on paper from an image file.

You are both talking about a grayscale image file, a single channel
grayscale image file.

The original thought was that the peizo driver could not produce the number
of levels a statement from Cone stated no?  This is with respect to the
print, not the image file.

You and Austin are arguing Tyler's point, I don't understand why since it
seems to be a different thing you are thinking about.
