Re: Epson 2400: question about creating BW image on transparency at

So, does this mean I could try converting to bitmap using diffusion
dither at 720 DPI, converting back to grayscale at 1:1 ratio, then
printing at 720 DPI printer output (Fine or Photo with Text settings
on my R2400) and I should get dot pattern similar to or the same as
the file?  

Best, David.
