Austin, I honestly can't explain it any better than I did. I really think you have to think beyond your file, and see the entire 
system including the ink and paper.
How about this to think about?
256 level grayscale file not altered in any way. Printed with a hypothetical two ink printer.
Exact same information sent to two mono inks of different density. Is the tonal scale extended beyond the same thing 
printed with one ink?
With respect Austin, I think I'm done with this. I also think, with specific regard to the Piezography driver, someone from 
ConeTech would be far more qualified than I to discuss that system.
If my previous BS didn't communicate properly that's my shortcoming. If it did, but is flawed, I'd be interested in hearing 
how.
