Epson 1500 Printer User Manual


 
If you prefer to set the halftoning method manually, follow
these guidelines:
Use No halftoning to speed printing for text or
monochrome line art. Do not use it when printing in color.
Error Diffusion is best for photographic images. It creates
color by randomly distributing the dots, making edges and
colors softer. It takes longer to print, but it produces the
best print quality for photographic images.
Dithering A and Dithering B arrange dots in orderly
patterns. The dithering method is relatively fast and is
best suited for printing charts, graphs, and other images
that require precise, solid areas of bright colors. Select
Dithering A for images with limited detail and shading.
Use Dithering B for images with significant detail but
limited shading.
Note:
When Media Type is set to Special Coated Paper-720 dpi and
Printing Mode is set to Super-720 dpi, Dithering A and
Dithering B are not selectable.
Printing Mode/Options Settings
The Printing Mode/Options settings let you define the
resolution, media type, and printing options for your
document. The following table shows how these settings are
related to each other and which options are available in the
different modes.
