yes exactly, and John's 7000 is working to his advantage in that regard.
I'm going to see about larger drop sizes for the 9800, I belive lower
quality print settings go to a different drop size set, or move one
larger. Then selecting the smaller sizes in all but K could keep
things smooth.
More tests to do, no end of fun...
