Digital BW, The Print

Peter,

The desktop Epsons are up to and including the 2200/2100 models, and the
large format Epsons are the 3000 and upwards that Epson also refer to as
their Professional Graphic line.

According to Kennedy McEwan on the Epsonx&x list:

"Also, if you check the "DCC" or "Digital Camera Correction" box on the
driver you will find that the driver produces much less "stair stepping"
on low resolution images.  With that mode, it uses bilinear resampling
rather than nearest neighbour to get up to the fundamental resolution of
the printer."
