Differences Among 3 Test Patterns
- Test Print 1
It shows 64 gradations expressed by means of error diffusion processing, which is not subject to moire and,
therefore, used in text/photo/map, print photo, and text mode.
- Test Print 2
It shows 64 gradations expressed by means of screening with a low number of lines, which is suitable for the
expression of gradation and, therefore, is used for print film photo mode and when priority is placed on PDL.
- Test Print 3
It shows 64 gradations expressed by means of screening with a high number of lines, which is suitable for the
achievement of a high resolution and is, therefore, used when priority is placed on PDL resolution.
