Re: [Digital BW] Re: 1400/1800/1900 printing

So I haven't done any direct comparisons (though keep meaning too, but would
have to do an black ink switch), but it was seeing the sharpness of a 1400
print of Tyler's that persuaded me to give 1.5pl a go. Epson claims double
the horizontal? resolution for R1900 (5760 x 1440-dpi)  vs LF. Interestingly
the R1900 has 1440 nozzles (180 per "colour") just like the 7880.

They will band at the start and end of the paper when the papers not engaged
with both front and back rollers. Though its often hard to see the banding
after a couple cm. I avoid this by simply printing on longer paper for my
final prints, where I don't have a big enough border.

Outside of this issue my 1900s are banding free and very smoooooth. I have
to struggle to see any drops with the 10x loupe and its easy to see
the drops from the 7880.
