Optimizing Image Quality

Image Quality Parameters

The Advanced Parameters
are "Polarity" and "Smoothing
Type."
October 4, 2004
If the quality of an image printed by the Imager is not acceptable, you will
have to enter new values for the parameters shown on the "Image quality"
screen. This section provides basic information that will help you select and
enter values for these parameters that are appropriate to the type of
modality that sent the image.
The "Image quality" parameters include:
• Image Density - A setting that determines the maximum density
(Dmax) that will be used in printing.
• Border density - The density of the border of the film.
• TFT Set - A group of 15 Transfer Function Tables (TFTs) used in Kodak
Imagers. Each TFT in the set is a grayscale curve that relates each digital
input (pixel) value to a target value of perceived brightness and a
corresponding target value of printed optical density.
• Table number - A number (1- 15) which specifies a particular TFT
(contrast curve) in the TFT Set selected for printing.
