Keith,
I have been down that road with the same goals as you with the additional desire for also high print resolution.
Take a look at my write-up:

The third section covers both resolution and density. I ran out of time, work is interfering with my hobbies. Someday I hope to continue the testing.

Well my head is spinning in my quest for finding the ultimate print method for getting a solid opaque print for the UV method of making PCBs.
The more I read the more it seems inkjets annihilate laser printers in this regard. So far it seems Epson Stylus inkjets with Epson transparency and original DYE based ink produce good results, when printing in best photo quality mode.
I would like to gain an in depth understanding of how all the different choices in my Epson printer software affect the print output (resolution, ink useage, print speed, etc). For example there's print quality choices, lots of paper choices, high speed mode, etc, but neither the printer manual, the help file, or Google / Youtube searching can give explanations of all this.
I know some are using lasers, tracing paper, doubling or tripling the positives on top of each other, etc, but for reasons based on my research I'm wanting to get away from those "workarounds" and get a solid opaque print on transparencies. The screen printing industry seems to use primarilly inkjet printers, and there's even special ultra black opaque inks available for these guys.
So my finishing question is does anyone know of any detail guides on all the settings in Epson inkjet printers.
Keith.
