I guess I missed something...probably just as well ;-)

I don't know what you mean by "blending" but NO ink is blended, and no dots
are overlaid.

What does dithering have to do with that?  For maximum contrast you need one
dot on, and one dot off and one dot on...being that the dots don't overlap,
I don't see how close together causes a loss of detail.  May be I'm not
understanding you.

That I agree with completely.

Hum.  I'd have to think about them...
