Re: question about 1440 resolutions

2008-03-04 by David

I just read in the QTR documentation: 

"1440 also has a 'super' version that does a more elaborate weaving 
if the printer is capable of that." 

So, can someone tell me what 'weaving' means? And how it might effect 
the dot/grain pattern I'm trying to get, as described below? And is 
the Epson R2400 "capable of that"? 

Thanks, David.

the image is similar to a bitmap images, made up of dots of one 
color, spaced differently depending on the tone. I'm using these to 
create etching plates so I do want the grain.
