Digital BW, The Print

Joe Wisniewski posted a very interesting message on the QTR group.  Thanks
Joe!

"The gimp print drivers will exhibit microbanding whenever the total ink
density exceeds 100%.
<snip>
gimp print always interleaves ink, nothing ever really overlaps, and you
cannot exceed 100% coverage."

That seems to be really, really, useful information for people building
curves, as that is very different than other rips I have used.
Is this known behavior in the drivers as implemented in QTR and/or IJC?
Sorry if I'm a little late to the game if this has been discussed before; I
don't find anything by searching the last 6000 messages.

I have not had time to explore this yet, but it could explain what I
believed to be a dither problem in a QTR curve I was working on.  I have
been recently testing IJC in an attempt to eliminate the "dither" problem.


Best regards,
