   I just did a test with my previously black test picture, and the
   answer is no!  It looks fine.

OK, so I think I have that one nailed too.  Other people had problems
with indexed images, too.  It wasn't entirely a problem with indexed
images; it was a combination of a bug with indexed images (ignoring
the density setting) and the dither routine (in very dark regions it
was unstable).

   I did, but found 24/1 to be the best looking so far (very small
   horizontal stripes) and it looks just right in size compared to the
   output in microweave 720. All the other variations has been too
   large vertically. Talking strictly proportionally, it would seem
   that 24/0 would be a great setting...

Wow.  What happens in high and highest quality mode, and with 1440?
Is it much faster than microweave?  How is the quality?  It might be
that the 800 can actually do microweave well.

   Pictures as always on http://home.swipnet.se/consultron/test4.jpg
   (87 kB). The microweave version is the one at the bottom to the
   right.

   I will use a better (non-indexed) test picture from now.
