Re: [Digital BW] VM output on 1160 vs 3000

2002-10-23 by Jerry Olson

K2,

The 3000 prints are too grainy for me.  If you are using the PIEZO
driver with the 3000 you won't see grain at all.

3000 printers are very troublesome if you don't have one of the good
ones. Lots of banding problems, paper feeding problems, etc. Photo
quality they aren't.
