Austin,

Epson printers print at 720dpi. They then offer the 1440dpi mode 
which tells the head to make 2 passes per line, and 2880dpi mode 
which instructs the head to make 4 passes per line. 

So in reality, I guess what they are really saying is that the Piezo 
dpi is really a 3 pass dither.

The new copy of ImagePrint 4 that I got recently offers 8 pass 
printing. To watch the printer is really interesting. The head goes 
backa nd forth 8 times before the paper advances.
