Digital BW, The Print

Antonis,

What you say is true....you will see a lot more highlight dots using 
ImagePrint on a 2200 than when using a 1280 with PiezoTone inks.  
But, there is a definite upside.  Prints with silvery tones will 
jump off the page when hanging on a wall in ambient window light, 
whereas the PiezoTone prints will look dull.  

Also, using the PiezographyBW driver with PiezoTone inks on my 1280 
shows microbanding when viewed with a loupe.  Even the print samples 
that inkjetmall sent me showed this banding.

Art lovers rarely look at art with a loupe!  They rarely see dots in 
the highlights or microbanding in a print.
