Oh, I see. Your package is evidently using one of the higher resolution
graphics modes, and probably multipassing with very small linefeeds to
simulate a vertical resolution of 1/216", rather than the head spacing 
resolution of 1/72".

The DeskJet Epson emulation cartridge will support this mode. One word of
caution however -- when using very small linefeeds in graphics, it is possible
to put down a great deal of ink on the page. This is probably no problem with
text, but if you were doing densely black graphics, it may require many extra
seconds of drying time.

Does this answer your question?
