Re: 1440 dpi vis-a-vis 2880 dpi

2015-09-07 by ascherjim@...

Brian: You and others who have responded to my concern on this forum have provided considerable enlightenment to me. I think I need to rephrase more succinctly my situation. I have been printing for years on my Epson 1400 at 2880 dpi. (I print in black-and-white with MIS-based dilutions I mix myself, per Paul Roark). It's only now with my new Epson 1430 that I'm having the banding problems with the 2880 dpi setting. Your earlier explanation (reasoning) for this is likely correct. I guess it means that the relevant technology between the two printers is sufficiently different to cause this disparity of results between my use of the 2880 dpi and the 1440 dpi.
I have ordered from MIS additional cartridges which I will load with the same ink dilutions I currently have in the 1430, and load them into my 1440, and try printing with the 1440 at the 2880 dpi setting. If there continues to be no banding with the 1400, this will show me if there's any difference in print output quality between the two settings (and printers). To the extent anyone's still interested, I will report back. Again, many thanks. Jim
