Does anyone know what checking "pixel doubling" in photoshop's
preferences does?

Should you be using diffusion dither, or not, with Epson's printers?

Jerry,

I use it when doing transforms on large files.

Straight from Adobe's website

The Use Pixel Doubling preference option speeds up the preview of a tool or
command's effects by temporarily doubling the size of the pixels (halving
the resolution) in the preview. This option has no effect on the pixels in
the file; it simply provides faster previews with the tools and commands.
