Reflectivity
When toner or ink is applied to a smooth surface, the resulting image is sharper because
the image is reflected back in a straightforward direction. Images resulting from toner
or ink applied to a rough surface are not as sharp because the image reflection is
scattered in several directions.
Select smoother, more reflective surfaces for sharper images.
