Don,

I can tell the difference. At 1440 my 1290 (1280USA) often shows 
microbanding. With 2880 it doesn't, due to the better weave and probably 
smaller dots. And several people have shown that printing at higher 
resolutions does NOT use more ink. I always use the highest resolution my 
various printers are capable of; the only disadvantage is time - it goes 
take longer to print at higher resolutions.

An Epson rep at a camera conference in June stated that printing at higher 
than 1440 DPI was a waste of ink. You can't tell the difference was his 
point.
