Printing text and halftone images are ENTIRELY different.  Any conclusions
drawn from one do not necessarily apply to the other.

I don't disagree that more resolution, up to a certain point is better for
either, but tests like this *really* don't apply to halftoned images to a
large extent.  The text is typically a solid color, and not halftoned, so
the actual methodology used to lay the ink down is entirely different.
