For me as well. Not so much on the "goodness" of Tyler's prints, I have seen 
those often enough to be aware they are outstanding, but rather on the 
"badness" of the 9800 OEM print. Nothing about the scan or description of this print 
fits with my experience of what this combination is capable of. Other scans at 
similar scale of AWB, Espon Color, and similar setups offer much smoother, 
more effective coverage than this sample. So I suspect this dramatic difference 
is caused by two things: a Tyler "SuperPrint" that exceeds not only typical 
RIP/B&W ink output, but even what others using Piezo systems manage to produce, 
and an unusually bad OEM print, one that certainly does not reflect what I am 
seeing daily working with K3 printers and PrintFIX PRO. So even though the 
description was offered as being from one "with no horse in the race" both horses 
were came from the same stable, and appear to be exceptional in opposing 
senses.
