Digital BW, The Print

What I meant be my original comment was; the way it puts down ink. It 
doesn't just let the ink flow onto the page, it still has the lay down 
dots. And the piezo driver vs. the Epson driver lays them down 
differently. The piezo black is not lighter because of mixing with the 
lighter inks (unless, maybe, it does so intentionally because of the 
profile. In which case they would be dithered together).
