If it actually does something (most of these 'running cars on water gadgets' do nothing) it means there's less ink on the paper. That must result in a decrease in quality or speed or fade resistance or whatever we like in Epson's driver/output. If they invented a better dithering routine than Epson does it would be worth a lot more to sell that to all the RIP manufacturers than they will ever earn from Ebay. Ink layers on paper have physical specs that can only be compensated to a degree by clever software, most of that has already been done. Maybe this software makes a virtual grey cart, head etc like the 2200 has in hardware, that will virtually save a lot of CcMmY ink ;-) There's one thing that it could do, suppress some of the auto cleaning cycles on printers, in the end this results in a quality problem.
