RE: [Digital BW] Septone Greyscale?

Richard,

Does the 2000 use a variable-dot technology?  How does it compare to the
1280-class machines in terms of dot size, etc.?

Are there empty carts that are available for it?

I made some curves for the 2000P, PC, and MIS VM inks.  I'm not sure how
many use them.

If the machine has as good a dot size, etc. as the 1280, I would be curious
how the new UT-2 inkset would work.  It depends on the built-in Epson driver
cross-overs, so the curves needed to control the inkset (in case the sliders
don't work on that printer) are much easier to deal with -- no radical
cross-overs to cause posterization, etc.
