Cone Plugin vs. Epson Driver - Comments from John Woolf

I just got back a test print from a 3000 owner, who had printed a test file with the 3000 curve.

It looks very nice. Beautiful tonal range: deep black; good midtone separation and good highlight detail. But I did notice that there is visible dot under a loupe. With the naked eye, it is almost invisible; you really have to look closely. This is not the case with the 1160. Even with a 4x loupe, there is no visible dot when printing through the Epson driver using the Full Spec Inks. When you think about it, it makes sense, since the 3000 prints a 12 picoliter dot compared to the 4 picoliter dot of 1160.

In comparison with Cone's system, the Piezography plugin does eliminate most of the dot when used with the 3000, but there is more microbanding. With the 1160 there is no difference in perceptible dot between the Piezography plugin and the Epson driver with my curve. I have done the side by side tests and viewed them with a 4x loupe. I have even done a blind test with very fine black and white printers who have critical eyes and most can not see a difference between the two. Except that some do prefer the Epson driver with my curve, because there is less microbanding and a slightly better black.
