For print dot system, EPSON Stylus COLOR 670 has the following two types
of printing modes.

Variable dot printing
The above two printing modes are automatically selected depending on the
media and the resolution setting. The following explains each printing mode.

Multiple shot printing
This printing mode is developed to improve the print quality on plain
paper or transparencies in low resolution. The multiple shot printing
mode uses normal dot and the number of dot shots varies from 1 shot
to maximum 3 shots depending on the print data to enable sharp
image output even in a low resolution.
o
Variable dot printing
This printing mode is developed to improve the print quality on
exclusive paper. This mode is basically the same as variable dot
printing mode used by EPSON Stylus COLOR 720; micro dot, middle
dot, and large dot compose this mode. Print dot size varies according
to print data and this mode enables even sharper image output on
exclusive paper.
