Error Diffusion - Choose Error Diffusion for labels containing complex
graphics and logos. It can also be used to better represent darker solid color
areas. The following error diffusion options are available:
• Fast - Choose this option when an error diffusion pattern is desired,
especially for lighter solid colored areas, but when the processing time
required to produce the best quality error diffusion pattern would be
objectionable for larger labels.
• Best - Choose this option for labels containing complex graphic images
or where the best error diffusion output is desired.
Photographic - Choose Photographic for labels containing photographic
quality images and logos. It also allows for photographic control of image
sharpness and intensity.
• Sharpness - Allows you to change the overall sharpness of the printed
photographic image. 100% sharpness will yield sharpest quality with
some chance of pattern artifacts in large regions of solid color. Lower the
sharpness percentage if you would like to generate more random
patterns with less likelihood of artifacts in large areas of solid color.
Lowering the sharpness from 100% will affect overall line definition and
perceived spatial resolution of printed sample.
• Intensity - Allows you to adjust overall intensity of image. Low intensity
will generate the lightest halftoned image. Dark will generate the darkest
halftoned image.
Sample Graphic - As you select halftoning options, the sample graphic will
be updated based on your selection. Experimentation with each option is
required as label image content varies. The sample graphic changes as
options are changed, but actual output is dependent upon many factors,
including media type, ribbon type, printer heat settings and speed, etc.
