Jeff,

Thanks for clarification of the RPM resolution on the 2400.  By the  
way, are you using the Pictorico Premium Photo paper with your 2400?   
I started using it with the MIS k4 inks and although dmax is slightly  
less compared to the Epson PK, the gloss is reduced to a nice soft  
finish - more like air dried glossy.
