Nij,

I agree 100% with what you said above. What I was trying to say was 
the the density of the ink is being controlled through the voltages 
the driver is applying to the head, IOW it can actually vary the ink 
density for each droplet, kinda like the variable droplet technology 
of the Epson driver.
