Description
Color used in the printed output. For Monochrome
models, Black is the only available ink color.
Number of rows of dots per inch or centimeter. Enter a
numeric value in the Frequency text box, and select
lines/inch or lines/cm.
Select the angle at which rows are aligned. An angle is
measured in degrees, ranging from -180 to +180.
Select the shape of the halftone dot. The choice for the
best halftone shape depends on the pattern and
number of colors for your image.
Ellipse Resists optical jump, which is when areas of
an image that should be smooth suddenly become
darker. An ellipse shape provides a smoother
gradation of tones. Choose for images with dark
areas.
Round Resists moiré formation and dot gain. Moiré
formation is an unintended pattern that occurs when
two or more colors are printed at the wrong angles.
The correct angles depend on the number of colors
being printed. Dot gain is when the halftone dots
increase when printed, causing a moiré pattern.
Choose for images with light tints and highlighted
areas.
Line Used for special effect. You can change the
effect by selecting a different Angle.
Uses a very precise halftone screen which provides
better print quality, but may increase printing time.
Description
Prints all color text as black. This is useful when you
want to reduce the amount of data sent to the printer
for color print jobs, which can provide faster printing. It
is also useful for increasing the detail for light colored
text printed by monochrome printers. White text and
image colors are unaffected.
