Saturated is still saturated no matter what the limits are. If you 
are running it right at the saturation level (just before the point 
where density levels off or starts to decrease again), you might find 
some small gains from slowing the machine down. But again, some of 
that may depend on your inks. With the next generation of inks from 
what you are using, I can see some improvements in slowing the 
machine down, for right now there are visible differences in the 
blues. For more extensive testing I need to get the RIP creator to 
make a couple of changes to the driver.

I also know exactly what the rate of print is for the 9(5)00 
printers, I still use a 9500. All depends on what you want, speed or 
quality. Trade a little of one for a little of the other.
