I see what you're saying!

The use of quads is clearly so different from the requirements for the
laying-down of colour inks. Unfortunately, I don't really understand the
science (of ink) works... particularly with 'dithering' technologies.
Like... how do you lay down a 25% ink with no dots, yet still make 1%, 2%
etc with no visible dots.
i.e. My logic says... you can get 1%, but by putting down LOTS less ink...
one would have thought so much less that dots would 'become visible'

What do you think? To an extent, this is an area I don't feel I need to
understand - for me - it's a marvel of the Piezo driver (!) - but I know
someone here may know this :)
