Digital BW, The Print

Hi Andrew.  I have made a couple comparison prints between 2880 and 1440 
DPI using Hextone inks, and the 2880
was just a hair sharper and smoother. Couldn't see ANY dot pattern in 
either print. Yes, it does appear to be a marketing thing,
but I still feel the 2880 print was just a hair better. Of course we are 
picking nits here. And yes, it took much
longer to print.  I'd only do it for absolute maximum quality; you'd 
hardly ever need it in routine printing.
