1.7 File requirements

The following considerations can help ensure that you obtain the best print quality with the INK1000
printer.
Dimensions
n
The INK1000 is optimized for a file with dimensions of 1295 x 2041 at 600 dpi or 2590 x 4084 at
1200 dpi. Other sizes may result in unprinted edges or reduced quality due to re-sampling of the
image.
Resolution
n
The INK1000 is optimized for 1200 dpi printing. Files with 600 dpi can be used with minimal loss in
quality. Resolutions below 600 dpi are not recommended due to loss of sharpness in text and
barcodes. The resolution of the file must be the same in the horizontal and vertical directions.
The following example shows photomicrograph at 15x magnification of barcodes printed at 300 dpi
(left), 600 dpi (center), and 1200 dpi (right).
