This is largely due to the D-Max to D-Min ratio. And yes if you look at Epson dots through a loop they look a bit like popcorn.

Speaking of Epson print heads.

Anyone know if this is "normal" or if there is a fix if not for this.

I have the Epson WF1100... I'm sure at some point I need to step up, it's not super dark and certainly not super fast!

I'm still using all 4 colors (cmyk+k) so this is only two colors doing this work.

If you look, you will see it looks like basically a nozzle or three is "out of register".  (FYI, this is 15x on fixxon's films)

Why not print out a nozzle check and do a calibration?

I do nozzle checks all the time... guess I need to loupe them though vs "it's printing ok" ;)

Never thought about calibration.  Mike, always keeping me in check on my calibration issues!  Thumbs up!
