Digital BW, The Print

Austin,

That's a good question. Is there a way to control an Epson printer other
than through its ESC/P protocol? That would be the only way to do
something like that. You can always create different dot patterns
(dithering) but the spacing is pretty much defined by the printer's
firmware (I would think).

Do you know that is a fact?  I really don't believe it's true, though a
"claim" was made that that the Piezo driver print 2160, not
1440...though no
one has ever been able to explain how that actually does it, as it's
beyond
the mechanical limitations of the printer motors and encoders.
