I don't see mention of the print resolution that is being used but I'd guess 2880 since that's
the best usually. Anyway on a 3880 printer at 2880dpi (really 2880x1440) there
is only one dot size -- Epson driver and QTR driver -- so I'd think its mostly a
matter of more inks and lighter inks being used.

I think it's definitely the case the ABW is firing all colors - to make the OEM inkset smoother, I assume. It is a different way of doing that compared to the "color" mode, however. It's interesting that whatever strategy they took works for a monotone inkset. I'm just taking a guess that they are using way more of the smaller drops and light inks.Paul,Well, smaller drops of lighter inks placed more closely together could explain some of this behavior, I suppose. All I know is that I want to decide what inks get placed on my prints, not Epson.I wish these companies would have an epiphany and realize that when they need a photographer for consultation, the guy to go to is not some jackass in a NY studio shouting “great, that’s great, give me more", while dancing around some anorexic model making silly faces.There was a time when they would consult people like Ansel Adams. Now they go to Peewee Herman.David Kachel___________________Artist-PhotographerFine B&W PhotographsPO Box 173Globe, AZ 85502
