2400 VFA dots (was Re: Fade test -- 4800 v. UT7 ...)

Very interesting.  I distinctly remember that the C/M dots looked
noticeably more intense.  Can't remember if it was on EEM though. 
That all seems like ages ago now, even though it's just been a couple
of weeks.  I have finally arrived at a good workflow that looks like
it will do the job for now.  Next thing is to get some Eboni working
in it, have you tried that yet?  I'm eager for someone else to try
with the MIS carts to see if they have the same problem with banding
that I had.

Thanks for doing the scan, it clears up that question.

Regards,
Clayton
