Can somebody describe what that means in terms of the difference in readability from only 8 (as with the Sony I have)? I'm assuming that it's the same as in the computer world, and there will simply be better contrast, making it look even that much more realistic?
The iRex products have 16 gray levels. This does make a difference for images, but some of the same effect can be obtained by dithering. I don't know how much it helps font anti-aliasing, but this might be the most significant reason for using 16 levels.
