Digital BW, The Print

Hi Arthur. I'm not sure what you are asking for. Perhaps it's the same
for others. I will give it a go just on general principal so forgive
if I have misunderstood your query.

If you're asking whether Quads will be better on the 4000 than on the
3000 the only answer is that they will certainly be less dotty, with a
much smaller drop and twice the horizontal resolution capability.
Beyond that, a quad is a quad so if properly set up and linearized
should work the same I would assume. If, on the other hand, you are
asking about using multiple grays as in a carbon6 or eboni6 inkset,
either would very likely be an improvement in smoothness in addition
to the dot size and resolution.

If you are talking BO on the 4000 against the 3000 Quad then the
answer is most probably "No", it would not be better IMHO.

Regards
Duane
