Description
Controls the average step size for the selected media and print mode. Only
change this setting when media calibration, [Automatic advance correction],
and decreasing the vacuum settings do not help enough in improving the
print quality.
Decrease for smaller steps, in case of constant light lines (at the swath
boundary). Increase for larger steps, in case of constant dark lines. When
both light and dark lines are present, you cannot correct it via this setting.
NOTE
• The [Automatic advance correction] setting will still work when
you use [Advance correction/Step correction].
• The change of this setting is only applied to a job when the
queue is empty. Send jobs one by one to make sure that the
changes are applied
Controls the print strategy used for layering the ink. By using the right print
strategy, the ink is positioned in such a way you optimize the print quality
and especially reduce artefacts at swath boundaries.
The [Print strategy] setting can be selected in the print modes shown in the
illustration below "Print strategy selection"..
For all the other print modes [Print strategy 1] is the default and cannot be
changed. Only for specific media or when you want to optimize print quality,
especially reduce artefacts at swath boundary, you should select a different
value. Always evaluate the print quality after you have changed the value.
For more information on [Print strategy] selection see the paragraph below.
• When you change the [Print strategy] setting, the bitmap that is sent from
the RIP to the printer is not changed. Nevertheless, the image processing
in the printer differs per print strategy. This sometimes can result in small
differences in color.
NOTE
The change of this setting is only applied to a job when the
queue is empty. Send jobs one by one to make sure that the
changes are applied
• When color accuracy is very important, use re-linearization or re-profiling
to optimize the color accuracy for the chosen print strategy.
The [Optimized color profiling] level is set as part of the color profiling se-
quence. When the level is set to 1, no color corrections are made. In case of
wrinkles, increase the [Optimized color profiling] in order to reduce the ink
limit in an optimized way. This will reduce the risk of wrinkles.
