Show me a single ink jet printer spec that gives bits per pixel or dot. 
  Hell, I can't think of any commonly used technique other than dye 
sublimation that you are likely to find this for.  There is a reason 
that printer output looks the way it does under magnification.  There is 
also a reason why the dpi given for color capability for the 
multifunction unit you selected is so much higher for color than black 
and white.
