No! No dots. The 1270 and even more so the 1280 printers make much smaller inkdrops than the older designs. Printing grayscale using the black ink only will look a little gritty. Putting all six colors together just makes a great looking print. Looks continuous tone. Henry - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
