Digital BW, The Print

Hello njms200,

That would be good, a 4x might not be strong enough.  

Did you see the thread about BO on the 4000, and the image showing the
dither pattern?  If so, I'm curious if the 800 dither pattern is like
the 4000?

This could be referring to the periodic cleaning pauses the head does
while printing, not actual ink placed on the paper.

Thanks for checking.


Regards,
Clayton
