Reference
When the Image Enhancement is activated on the item No. 8044, the KIP9000 categorizes
every single pixel of print data into any of 10 IE Categories depending on its "visual appeal
power".
2 factors concern for the categorization, such as "isolate level" and "existence of nearby dot".
•
"Isolate level" stands for the isolation from other images, and shown by the "numeral"
of IE Category as A1 or A2. A larger value stands for more isolation from other images
(as single pixel). "More isolation" reduces the "visual appeal power" of the target pixel.
Therefore more image enhancement is required for more isolated pixel to print it much
darker.
•
"Existence of nearby dot" is shown by the alphabet of IE Category as A1 or B1. Nearby
dot exists when "B", and does not exist when "A". As the existence of nearby dot
provides more "visual appeal power" to the concerning pixel, less image enhancement
is required.
The followings are the descriptions of 10 IE Categories, which are ordered from top to bottom
in terms of their visual appeal power. (Upper item has more visual appeal power.)
B5 : Isolate level 5 with nearby dot
A5 : Isolate level 5 without nearby dot
B4 : Isolate level 4 with nearby dot
A4 : Isolate level 4 without nearby dot
B3 : Isolate level 3 with nearby dot
A3 : Isolate level 3 without nearby dot
B2 : Isolate level 2 with nearby dot
A2 : Isolate level 2 without nearby dot
B1 : Isolate level 1 with nearby dot
A1 : Isolate level 1 without nearby dot
