People have sent me Piezo 21-Step test strips for various reasons, and the
main things I notice are that, first, like the 6 and 7 dilution inksets I
use, they are very smooth.  Second, however, is that the Piezo test strips
seem to have more bleed in the 100% black areas.  Of course, I can't be sure
the people sending me the test strips used the correct profiles, etc.
However, like with the example Roy posted and as I've also seen, the amount
of bleed may be the main difference in resolution.  

I simply don't think there is any magic inkset or driver that can overcome
what I expect is a limitation of the printer.  It looks to me like the
drivers we usually use, when set to their top resolutions, are getting about
all there is to get out of these machines -- and that's very good.
