Digital BW, The Print

(quoted text *below*)

jim--

for the example, if i printed text, the text would be reasonably sharp, 
but there would be discreet dots of ink outside the body of the text, 
wehn examined with a loupe. Also, (when i still had color in the 740) 
i printed an image on both my 1270 and the 740; the 740 would 
have random black dots (again, very small--almost needed a loupe 
to see) in a place in the image where there should be no black.
