Barry and others,

Someone created a pdf file that has a bunch of test patterns at
different resolutions.  These take a little figuring out but if
you read the messages and download the files and print them, 
I think the output is interesting. There's not much doubt that
there's various crude resamplings done.

It's in another group, see:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Epson2000P/message/5310

The pdf file is called VariableGridB.pdf and it's in the Files section.
The patterns look really weird on a screen because of all the
resampling for screen display.  But magnifying the pdf file to 
800% or so makes it possible to see what the pattern really is.
