Clayton,

The first attempt at the R2400 was before I had one, seen one or had
any docs for it.   Anyway since I got one recently there will be an update
for some of the internal calibration -- dotsizes.  This should make things
better.  I'd be surprised if the results weren't pretty close to the 2200 as
far as dithering etc.
