RE: [Digital BW] Advice please 1200 vs. 1280 For B&W

2001-11-06 by Nij

Brandon,

I should say it much depends on what 'system' you want to print with. If
Piezo BW, the 1160 is a stalwart and you get excellent dot-free prints
regardless of whether or nto you are using 1160, 1200, 1280/90.

However, in that sense, if you are using MIS VM or Lyson or whatever, the
smaller dots and tighter packing [of the dots] from the later (1280/90) six
colour printers help these systems considerably (as I understand it) bring
it towards Piezo quality in the dot-free sense. There are numerous
advantages with either system, and I'll leave it to you to search out the
Archives and Files section of the group to see previous system-comparison
postings.
