   Could the reason be less dot overlap? The printer must use the same 
   dotsize for all resolutions but when running in 360dpi the dots
   dont touch and are even a little apart?

Actually, there are different dot sizes that can be chosen in 360 dpi
mode.  Even with the largest, things are too light.

(I've also noticed that the printer sometimes drops multiple dots in
360 dpi mode, but that's another matter.)
