Digital BW, The Print

Mike,

Um, I don't want to be part of the rumor mill. I have no idea what the
droplet size is, but I thought it was larger than the 1160, which I use. I'd
love to be mistaken about that. As I'm not in the market to buy one yet, I
haven't gone to the trouble of checking the Epson site, and I'm actually
more interested in anecdotal comparisons rather than specs anyway.

So you own one? Using the Epson driver, as opposed to the piezo driver, do
you have any knowledge of which desktop Epson it's output would most closely
resemble - at least from a print head view, not transport mechanism.
