Tyler,

This is taken directly from the Inkjetmall site:

The Piezography BW driver changes radically the way the printer 
prints.  The dots are packed as tightly as the print head will allow 
from 1% to 100% black.  Instead of dithering dots like a CMYK driver 
does - the volume of ink is changed to vary the ink density.  


The above cut and paste job is from the site and my understanding of 
how the Piezo B/W driver works also is in agreement with that. That  
is what lead to my statement. Maybe we have a different meaning 
of "dithering"? If so I would like to understand what you were trying 
to say.

Thank you,

Terry
