Re: [Digital BW] Epson 1400 vs 1800

Thanks Roy. It makes sense of course, and I thought that would be the
case. It does somehow make the issue of coverage, or how it is
neasured, or dot area, or dot percent etc. as a per color spec seem
confused a bit.
Not quite sure how to put what I mean, or if it matters to anyone on
the planet... but a "small" percent number of a color could actually
be 100% small dot, and transitional areas would be odd to quantize in
terms of coverage as well....
On a related note, with all of these light ink printers now, the whole
traditional concept of a total ink spec has become very confused.
Hell, maybe making a dinner choice would be more productive than
musing on this...
Thanks Roy,
Tyler
