Getting the Most Out of Your Printer
To achieve the highest quality printout, you should know a few
of the elements that contribute to outstanding color printing:
❑
Resolution
is a measure of the amount of detail that can be
represented on the page. The higher the resolution, the
more detailed and realistic the image, and the longer it
takes to print. For printed images, resolution is measured in
dots per inch (dpi). Your printer has three resolutions, or
printing modes: 720 dpi, 360 dpi, and Economy (180 dpi).
Use 720 dpi for the best possible images. For high-quality
images in less time, use 360 dpi. When speed is important
and draft quality is good enough, use Economy (180 dpi).
For more information, see Chapter 2 (for Windows) or
Chapter 3 (for Macintosh).
❑
Paper type and quality
are very important. Although you
get good results with plain bond paper, you will get better
results by using coated or glossy papers because they do
not absorb as much ink.
To ensure the best possible quality, EPSON offers coated
papers, glossy papers, and transparencies that are
specially formulated for the inks used by the printer.
