IMO - definitely. If you put your nose a couple of inches away you can see a
slight graining in the shadows at the 600x1200 rez but not at 600x2400
(which obviously takes a lot longer to print and RIP). At normal viewing
conditions the graining is very difficult to notice.

Customer I was working with has an Epson 1280, 1200, and 900. The prints
from the HP compare very favorably with the Epson 1280 at the 720x2880 rez.

I may not have the latest greatest Best DE but I think Best' German logic
still stands. Ulf G. would be better to answer this one.
