I wasn't sure if you were referring to the visual "coloration" some see, or
whether your scan showed no color dots in the ABW warm print.  I just did a
1600 dpi scan of a 4800 ABW "warm" test strip on EAM.  It's posted at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/4800_ABW_0-25_Warm_1600scan.jpg .  It seems to
show lots of color dots.

If your test strips do not have dots, then I wonder what the differences
are.  Is it possible the 2400 and 4800 use different printing algorithms?
