Epson Stylus 1500 - Normal Dot;Epson Micro Dot Printing Modes

Normal Dot / EPSON Micro Dot Printing Modes
The Stylus 1500 uses two ink eject modes (normal dot and EPSON Micro Dot) for monochrome ink
printing. Normal dot printing mode uses a larger dot size than Micro Dot printing, so the space
between dots is narrower.
In EPSON Micro Dot Printing Mode, the print dot is smaller. This mode is useful for a larger
graded representation and for preventing white banding. Micro Dot mode can be used with
EPSON’s premium ink jet paper or with transparencies, using the appropriate paper settings. This
mode can also be selected for printing on normal paper in super fine (720 dpi) quality.
