Re: [Digital BW] 1280 Surprise with Eboni & Black Only

2003-12-14 by Editor P.O.V. Image Service

Something's funny here..

The max vertical resolution on the 1270 and 1280 is the same 720 dpi.  
The minimum droplet size is the same at 4 picoliters.

Yes, there have been arguments about whether people can see the 
difference between normal printing at 1440 and 2880 dpi horizontal.. 
Certainly, there is a difference between 720 and 1440 dpi horizontally...

However, with BO, I'm wondering whether the differences people see are 
more driver induced than actually a direct effect of the increased 
resolution..  Differences in performance of the 1270 hardware when run 
with the 1280 driver  would seem to indicate the latter.  Oh well. Just 
more grist for the mental mill.
