HP ImageREt 4800
HP ImageREt 4800 is a technology that provides you with the best color print quality
without having to change driver settings or make trade-offs among print quality,
performance, and memory. The technology produces photorealistic images.
HP ImageREt 4800 provides high-class printing quality through a multilevel printing
process. This process precisely controls color by combining up to four colors within a
single dot and by varying the amount of toner in a given area. As a result, HP ImageREt
4800, together with the 600-x-600 dpi engine resolution, creates millions of smooth colors.
In contrast, the single-level printing process found in the default mode of other color laser
printers does not allow the colors to be mixed within a single dot. This process, called
dithering, significantly hinders the ability to create a wide range of colors without reduced
sharpness or visible dot structure.
Best image printing
For the best image printing quality from the HP Color LaserJet 9500mfp, use
HP High Gloss Laser Paper in the special imaging mode. To select the image mode, set
the media type to HP High Gloss (images). See “Printing on special print media” on
page 97 in chapter 5.
Paper selection
To create the best color and image quality, it is very important to select the appropriate
media type in the printer driver and at the control panel.
