Nij, 

I am not sure this will express it, but here goes:

If you can control the voltage through timing you can still get the 
same sized dot since the voltage is brought to what it would normally 
be at the point of actually firing, but the overall density of the 
droplet would be lower as a result. In reverse you could increase the 
droplet density by overcharging and then reducing to the firing 
voltage. Since the final voltage determines the droplet size, then by 
varying the timing you change the overall density by changing the 
available ink at that point to be fired. I don't know if that makes 
any sense at all to you, but at the moment my gray matter is 
insisting on a rest, and it is the best it will allow me to offer.
