You can print to the Epson driver from 16-bit space, but it gets downsampled
to 8-bits on the way to the driver. The new Piezo driver will allow the
16-bit data to pass through the driver, so to speak.

I've only heard one person make mention of the 16-bit option and they said
it was visibly better. Has anyone else compared?
