Image smoothing
Select the Image smoothing option to minimize grainy output when printing low-resolution (up to 300 dpi) images.
This option is valid for images less than or equal to 150 dpi when the Resolution option is set to 600 dpi, and for
images less than or equal to 300 dpi when the Resolution option is set to 1200 dpi. This option improves graphic and
image types of gradients.
Image quality
The Image quality print option allows you to specify the type of image quality for the job.
This option affects the fineness of images in the job; there is a trade-off with processing speed.
Choose one of the following for the print job:
•
Normal - to print quality images.
•
Best - to print the highest quality for text and images.
Resolution
The Resolution print option allows you to specify the resolution of the print job (specified in dots-per-inch).
Note: Calibration is affected by the resolution setting. When you create a custom calibration setting, be sure the
resolution setting is the same setting that is used in jobs that are printed with the calibration setting. For more
information, see Color Printing.
Screen pattern
Specify a halftone screen pattern for the print job.
Select one of the following:
•
Gradation priority for gradation-optimized halftone screening.
•
Resolution priority for resolution-optimized halftone screening.
•
High-resolution priority for high resolution-optimized halftone screening.
The Screen pattern settings are affected by the resolution. The screens used at 600 dpi are generally smoother in
gradation than those used at 1200 dpi. Set the Resolution print option to 600 dpi if your job contains images and
gradations. Set the Resolution print option to 1200 dpi if your job contains mostly line art and text.
Use maximum printer density
The Use maximum printer density option is designed to create solid, saturated colors. It is typically used to print text
and graphics, not photographic images.
Select this option to print 100% C, M, Y (or R, G, B) at the maximum density that the printer is capable of printing,
regardless of calibration. C, M, Y (or R, G, B) values less than 100% still print at the calibrated density value.
For best results printing CMYK color, set CMYK Source to Bypass conversion. For best results printing RGB color,
make sure the Use RGB embedded profiles option is selected.
