Digital BW, The Print

I think this is where the term 'proprietary broad-band microweave' comes
into play. I couldn't find the quotew on piezography.com when I last looked,
but I think it's probably accurate. Plus... "...am optical resolution of
2160dpi. The perceived resolution is continuous tone!" I suspect this
phrasing comes about from people saying 'you can't get an inkjet printer not
to use dots' (which as far as I know, is true.

In other words... I think you are both right :) But of course, end result is
that the ink is so tightly packed we can not see the dots of a dither, or
microweave... so does it count???
