This is interesting Paul, obviously the printer driver interprets the source file, the extra source data isn't squeezed into smaller dots, so I surmise that there must be a point of nil return and an optimum source file size for the given driver. I wonder where the difference originates from because I can't reconcile that it is simply due to the bigger file size above a certain point?
