Yes I guess he did say that Service Bureau prints he had done with 
piezography had grain issues and tone transitions where not as smooth. 
All I can say is it must be a workflow issue or this was prior to Studio 
Print.
Properly done quads are smooth as silk. I have seen many 3000 prints that are 
just as smooth as quad and hex 7600 prints.
My prints are definitely not grainy. Smooth and dotless. Joel being a 5x7 
shooter
I would have to say The service bureau did know what they where doing. What 
about the the 5x7 cone sample prints of Joel's images?
Did he think those where grainy? they where done on a 7000 but prior to 
studio print.
 I have used all the piezo products from J.Cone, the plugin, Piezopro 24, and 
Studio print does make the best prints with his inks.
