Digital BW, The Print

Adrian-

Have you printed out a step wedge since you change OS's?  That would show
whether the problem is with the printer, the workflow, or what.

I think that you may be right about printer variation. You may recall that I
have discussed with you in the past how VM handles low value detail compared
to Piezo and how the latter resolves, IMHO, this much better. The image that
Tim asked me to print had easily discernable detail that VM, unlike Piezo,
just did not satisfactorily print. The VM 1160 is the same as I have always
used and passes the usual nozzle and alignment checks perfectly. I suppose
that I have recently introduced a huge new variable into the equation by
changing to Windows XP and its driver but I can honestly say that my
concerns and similar experiences with VM extend back into my days of 98SE.
All the driver settings are as per your instructions. I suppose I should
resurrect a 98SE machine and do some more prints just to prove the point.

The two consistent features are that the printer and CIS are the same and
that my low value detail problems with VM have always been there.

I do have another 1160 so I will at some time in the future switch that to
VM and report back.
