Digital BW, The Print

You will get microbanding due to inacurate paper advance with the
thick papers.
This may or may not be what you are experiencing, but be sure and test
it with a paper under 250gsm or so.
That's the only catch with a 3000, crappy paper advance.
Regarding dot size, I'd suggest a good partioned aproach using QTR.
The dots will become very untintrusive if visible at all.
