RE: [Digital BW] Number of tones was Re: Do inkjets dither or not?

Roy,

What do YOU believe "the issue" is that I missed?

You clearly said what your "main point" was ("The main point was that the
256 levels i.e. 8-bit
files are only loosely connected with how many tones you can measure."), and
it is a point that was not in dispute at all, and wasn't the main issue I
was discussing.  It was now those tones were derived that was being
discussed.

You then made another "point" (which you clearly stated was "the point"),
which I disagree with...about the distinction between dots and pixels.

I believe my response is quite to the issues that were being discussed for a
few days here already, and I believed you were discussing the same issue...
I'm not saying it is, but did you even think it might have been you who
missed the issue?
