Yes, depends where it falls. Could be less dots, distribution 
of the dots, smaller droplet size, a lighter ink in the 
inkset. In that order I think but there are many different 
media around that will not all cope with only dot number 
changes (and that's limited too if you want to keep some 
smoothness). In RIPs you can change the point where darker 
inks are replaced by lighter inks and Epson must have that 
choice too when making the paper settings for the driver.
