Re: [Digital BW] Inks, Epson vs. Cone etc. was:(more newbie q's)

While we are on the subject of Bernds driver comparison, I saw something in
there that I had never seen before. Look at the two smaller prints that were
both printed with the Piezo driver. The large smoke stack on the left has a
moiré  pattern in it's lower third. It's not there in the Epson driver
print, but that is a larger print, so I wouldn't expect them to be the same.
But what could be the cause of that moiré ?
