Digital BW, The Print

As I anxiously await the arrival of my recently ordered 1280 to replace
my aging 740, I am wondering if anyone can tell me anything about the
quality specifications between the two printers.  I know the 1280 is
rated at 2880 DPI whereas the 740 is only rated at a maximum of 1440
DPI, but other than that I don't know.  I can't find anything written
about the 740 since it's so old.  Do they both have the variable droplet
technology?  What about the picolitre sizes?  Is the driver more
sophisticatedf?  I'm hoping to see an improvement right away just with
BO images, but I hope I'm not disappointed and I don't know what to
expect since I can't really compare the specifications.

Thanks,
Ed
