Well, I've got 20/20 (corrected) vision, and I view most prints closely
at about 6" from my eye to the paper.  As I said, I said I can see the
dots just fine, but they just don't bother me that much.  On some
photos, it actually adds a textured appearance that appears to enhance
the image like printing on a fine textured paper.  Maybe it's also
possible you haven't seen the same Black only images that I have, and
maybe they can be better than the ones you have  seen.

Thanks,
Ed
