in a disorganized pile of media. Print at slower speeds until you are comfortable with the
printer and have winding equipment ready.
Draft Print Quality
Draft printing is usually not recommended because Normal will be a better choice. However,
use Draft print quality to achieve faster speeds for sequenced labels that require less detail.
Draft quality prints at 300 DPI and is comparable to the draft setting of NeuraLabel’s other label
printers. Draft quality is often suitable for larger labels, such as drum labels, that have a
primary function as information preservation and do not require superior quality. A print speed
of 10-14 inches per second (ips) is recommended for printing sequenced or unique labels at
draft quality, however specific print speed is based on complexity and size of the labels.
Printing label copies in Draft quality is not recommended because there is no additional benefit
achieved. Use quality Normal or above when printing label copies.
Best or Max DPI Print Quality
Best and Max DPI printing delivers the highest quality prints. Best mode prints at 600 DPI, and
offers a higher quality than Normal mode. Max DPI prints at 600 DPI and offers the highest
quality prints. When Best or Max DPI is required for printing sequenced labels, the printer must
be slowed down to account for the amount of additional data that is being processed.
Depending on the size and complexity of the labels, Max DPI may need to be slowed down to 2-
3 ips, while Best mode will need to be slowed to 4-6 ips.
Most label copy jobs, however can print at the higher speeds when in Best or Max DPI. This is
because the printer stores the page in memory and can mass produce this page at any speed.
Print speeds up to 18 ips can be achieved for label copies. However as discussed previously,
having adequate winding equipment to hold the media in place will be critical when printing at
top printer speeds. For production printing, we have found speeds around 14 ips to be a good
choice. The printer user is invited to experiment to tune his or her specific workflow.
