But keep in mind that you shouldn't be sending the "exact same file"
to the R2400 and a Kodak RP30 Lightjet, because these two systems
operate completely differently. The former device is an
error-diffusion dither inkjet, whereas the latter is a continuous tone
system. Very different output sharpening requirements, not to mention
different native driver resolutions.
