Can I have the original file you printed out?  Using solid black ink to test
out a halftone system does not give you valid results, and any conclusions
you draw from this can not necessarily be applied to a halftone image!

For an image that requires NO halftone!

I'm sorry, perhaps I'm not following the conversation, but this claim is
just so silly.  I have a dozen or more images on my wall done with both the
Epson halftone and the Piezo driver.  The Piezo system shows FAR FAR FAR
more detail than the Epson halftone driver for these images.

The Epson halftone driver has to use only ONE ink to make the grayscales.
The Piezo driver uses four.  It can, just on that alone, take up only 1/16th
the area to make the same tone as the Epson driver.

I am just stunned, Paul, that you are saying what I believe you are saying.
I am really hoping I just didn't follow the conversation, and I'm taking
what you said out of context.

Regards,

Austin
