Digital BW, The Print

Mike,

What is the "dot" position?  The secret to Piezo success started with 
providing dotless prints with the Epson 3000.  Is ImagePrint as good 
as Piezo in this regard?  Maybe less of an issue with the latest 
generation of printers.

I have no affiliation other than I purchased their product for my 
Epson 10000 in my office for color presentation work. As a result of 
it supporting the Piezo Inkset, I am using it on my 7000 as well with 
the MIS FS inks.

I am at a loss of how as I am not familiar with the RIP control 
process.
