Digital BW, The Print

I owned an Epson 1200 for over 5 years and never once saw banding at 1440. It finally died and I bought a 2200. I am sceptical about lower ink usage at 2880 dpi but it really doesn't matter. I am very happy with my prints from my Epson 2200 at 1440. I usually print 14x11 nowadays for camera club competitions. Because the 2200 maxes out at 13x19, I use a custom printer for the 16x24s on my den wall.
 
I just reread my notes from the conference. The Epson rep didn't say "will save ink'. I inferred it and may be wrong. He said it was unnecessary and I assumed that meant.......

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.
