Thanks very much Mike... I thought perhaps my eyes were playing tricks after
looking at these prints much too closely these many days!

I will be doing a lot of experimenting as you all have done for so long...
thank you very much for your observations Mike.

I am still concerned by this pattern I'm seeing. I guess it is the dither
pattern of the Piezo plug in as I do see it in the Piezo prints and not the
Epson driver prints.  It is not random, it is not a clog problem as those
I've become very familair with throughout the years, whether in my color
print or neutral with OEM inks.

Best, Carolyn
