Digital BW, The Print

Pieris,

2200 OEM inks with QTR has a slightly coarser dither in the 
highlights than my FS based 1280 using Epson driver.  But, that is 
not a function of the RIP, rather, the numbers of different shades on 
inks used.  So, if 4 shades of gray are used with QTR on the 2200 it 
will be even finer.  However, 2200 OEM inks+QTR is sufficient for all 
needs other than looking at prints with a 4X loupe.  And it is so 
easy!  My first print with it came out PERFECT!

Hope this helps.
