I can't blame you for not wanting to spend hours experimenting.
especially when it becomes clear that it might take 10s or 100s of
hrs.

If the droplet spacing is too wide, I think that could be compensatod
for in the driver. some drivers have control over how much ink is
deposited. My hp5550 has the ability to darken prints which I believe
deposits more black ink, for example.
