Austin, this is an interesting subject. Under some circumstances, I'm seeing dithering at 100%K, we noticed it recently with 
Steve's 7000 with the RGB driver. Also, do you you how the Epson driver changes density at 100% on different media settings 
if not by dithering? An interesting thing about PressReady is that at 100% it suddenly seems to literally open up the 
"screen" completely and really dump down ink, sometimes a good thing sometimes not.
