Epson Stylus Printer User Manual


 
The Diffused setting is best for photographic images. This
setting is the default and should be used for most color images.
Pattern 1 Dither is a fine dither pattern that can be used for
printing images with significant detail but limited shading.
Pattern 2 Dither is a coarse dither pattern for images with
limited detail and shading.
Light/Dark slider
Controls how much ink is applied to the paper. The slider has
five settings that allow you to apply more or less ink. The more
ink, the darker the colors. Move the slider to the left for more
ink and darker colors; slide it to the right for less ink and
lighter colors.
Note:
The slider is not accessible for monochrome printing or when the
black and white halftone is selected.
Controlling print quality
The following settings allow you to adjust print quality.
Resolution
Specifies the resolution to be 720 dpi, 360 dpi, or 180 dpi.
Resolution is the amount of detail used to create an image.
The higher the resolution, the sharper and finer the image.
For the highest quality, use 720-dpi resolution with EPSON
special coated paper. When you select this resolution,
MicroWeave is turned on and High-Speed Mode is turned off.
For most color printing, use 360-dpi resolution. This resolution
produces good-quality, full-color images using less memory
and in less time than 720 dpi. Special paper is not required for
360 dpi; however, for better results, use EPSON coated paper.
