Inks
This setting specifies color (CMYK) or monochrome printing.
CMYK refers to the printer’s colored inks: cyan (blue-green),
magenta, yellow, and black (K). These colors are combined to
create any of 16 million colors. When you select
Monochrome
,
the printer prints only black ink. If you are printing a color
image and
Monochrome
is selected, the printer converts color
data to grayscale values. When you want to print in color,
select
Color (CMYK)
.
Note:
If you select color printing and print a black and white image, the
printer uses the CMYK colors to create black. For true black, select
Monochrome
. This produces black and white images with higher
detail.
Method
This setting lets you select one of seven options:
Automatic
,
No halftoning
,
Error Diffusion
,
Dithering A
,
Dithering B,
ColorSync
, and
Video/Digital Camera
(
Error Diffusion
).
To take advantage of EPSON’s intelligent color correction
feature, select
Automatic
so your printer driver can analyze
the data for each page of your document and automatically
adjust the settings. If you prefer to set the halftone 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.
❑
Dithering A
and
Dithering B
arrange dots in orderly
patterns. Printing dithered images is relatively fast and is
best suited for printing charts, graphs, and other images
that require precise, solid areas of bright colors. Use
Dithering A
for images with limited detail and shading.
Select
Dithering B
for images with significant detail but
limited shading.
