Yes! Seeing that here too...
Basically, with the x600s and SP, variable dot can't be linearized
with over two partitions. At least I haven't been able to do it.
They're going to have to make it happen for the x800s though, somehow,
with the K3s.
What I'd really like... not vareiable, but to have different dots
sizes available in different inks.
For example- Give me the smallest size, particularly in the highlight
inks, but then give me your largest size for the skeletal black for
the best dmax. But you can leave each ink non-variable, make sense?
Doable?
