Digital BW, The Print

Guys,

There is an explanation in great technical detail of how this Epson
resolution
stuff all works. At least from the view of a 3rd party driver/rip.

Go download the latest gimp-print v4.2 source code for Linux at:
(gimp-print is the excellent open source Epson printer driver for Linux)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print

In the archive, read one of the doc files entitled "/doc/weave.texi"
This doc is in portable texinfo format.

From my understanding after reading the weave document, it certainly looks
as if the heads need to
make multiple passes to achieve 1440 and 2880.

Cheers,

Dave Ewaldz
