Re: 2200 w/ Photo Black

2002-12-21 by Bob_Michaels <Bob@BobMichaels.org>

I'm curious about the "obvious dots". Is this at 1440 or higher dpi?
My 1280 printing with just the black ink at 1440 has dots, but you
need a lupe to see them. I know they are different printers and
different inks. I wonder if something in the 2200 causes this aspect
to take a step backward.
