A few of us have tried that with the 7600 and 4000 with the Epson driver.
It does not seem to have a significant effect on the dmax.  So, it may be
that we're dealing with a characteristic of the dither and not the ink load
per se.

I may settle on a PK chip on a MK (Eboni) cart and Premium Glossy media type
even for matte paper as the best solution for my 7600.  Unfortunately, this
will not work with the 4000.

With the 4000, a rip may be the best answer.

(I'll be doing more on this after I re-load the 7600, which still has
cleaning fluid in it.)
