[Digital BW] Re:Epson 7000 droplet size

2001-08-09 by mwesley250@earthlink.net

Michael,

That is some very exciting news!

Is the "Vivid" setting any relation to the Vivid that shows up in the 
Epson 1270 drive when you choose Custom>PhotoEnhance4? Is there 
something similar in the 1280 driver? Or is the "Vivid" just an 
option on the 7000?

does not publish the droplet size of the 7000, I looked in the 
Calgraph technicians service manual. It states that the heads are DX3 
Drop on Demand 4 picoliter heads. I would have to believe this as the 
1280 drop size is visually indistinguishable from the 7000.
