Set the Print Resolution
The card printer can be set to print at standard resolution, high resolution, or a
combination of resolutions. For example, the black text of a card design can print
at high resolution while the color images print at standard resolution.
The ability of a printer to support high resolution printing is set at the factory. If
the printer includes the High Resolution Print option, the available resolutions
will be listed on the Status tab of Printer Properties.
The print resolution can be set for color images and/or monochrome card
designs.
