Digital BW, The Print

I can compare 2200/IP5 (Windows) output to 1280/VM standard and see
dots in highlights (Vm/1280 is continuous), or on Paul's stepwedge.
But it is a matter of degree. They are really small, you have to be up
close and comparing side by side.

The shadows are a bit compressed as well. Somewhere around 96%-100% it
is hard to tell the diff between 1% k patches.

However, when I look at a print done on both 2200 and 1280 with VM,
the IP5 print somehow looks sharper, but it's hard to describe how.

I wouldn't advise anyone considering 2200/IP5/Epson UC to not try it
out first for themselves. The demo may be available for IP5 but
borrowing an 2200 might be an issue.

So if MIS has "quad"(?) carts/ink for the 2200, then Paul has done
curves for it or?
