Digital BW, The Print

Hi Mike,

I don't believe I'm missing anything.  Just passing the head twice does NOT
make it twice the resolution.

The 3000 prints 1440 using "microweave", which, does "interleave" the dot
positions.  The dot position is in smaller vertical increments and the
nozzles fired in a staggered sequence.  That does require two passes.

Have you taken a close look at a print that was done at 720 and then again
at 1440?

Regards,

Austin
