Printing considerations for the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS

This section describes some special considerations for color
printing on the 2060.

Image quality

This section describes image quality considerations.

One of the most important factors influencing color output is
the quality of the paper used; high quality stock enhances the
output quality.

Color quality perception is subjective and will be affected by
surrounding lighting conditions.

Like other color reproduction processes, there will be some
variation of output quality over time. For example, long runs
with an area coverage greater than 70% (per color) may
produce different output quality between the first and last
sheets.

Image quality is strongly influenced by paper surface
structure, texture, and color. Key applications should be
printed on the DocuColor 2060 using representative paper
and reviewed by the document owner prior to production.

When using coated paper with large areas of process-black
coverage (greater than 220% on the second side), image
quality may be degraded due to the lack of moisture content
in the paper.

The surface texture of some uncoated papers may cause
increased graininess in halftone areas printed with only black
toner. This effect may be minimized by adding process black
and/or using smooth or coated papers.

Density variation may occur on applications with high area
coverage when using coated stocks with weights around 220
gsm.

Image area

The DocuColor 2060 does not print from edge to edge. There is
a 4 mm border around the page image.
