Try measure it! After our measurements lower print resolution = more ink.

It is logical - if printer head use only one way to print all 
information on paper - it should use much bigger drops and the inks 
penetrate more to paper. As a result is more ink to receive the same 
density.

If printer head print the same with 8 ways and use smaller drops, 
second and next ways will print on paper partialy covered by ink and 
penetration into paper should be lower.
