Re: [QuadtoneRIP] 3880 ABW with carbon inkset -- smoother, sharper, deeper dmax, "color managed" on Win7

2015-06-07 by Roy Harrington

Well, yes, dithering is different on different drivers. But Epson color vs Epson ABW is unlikely to be
different. I expect just ink usage differences.
The one thing that is the same in all cases on the 3880 will be the weaving/interleaving. This mostly
affects banding issues. But since its in the printer everybody gets the same algorithms.

My gut feel is that once you have a decent dithering algorithm its not going to get much better.
Somewhat same with weaving -- Epson is probably better than QTR driver but that's only small printers.

Roy,

There is no difference in the way the dots are laid down? Different print engines though if I am not mistaken, QTR based on the Gimp-print routines versus the Epson 3880 driver that must be more recent.
