5-68 Choosing printing parameters
User's Guide
Use these modes for continuous tone images or renderings with heavy
shading or fill. Because enhanced mode splits inking into three or four
passes, it reduces print anomalies such as banding (stripes through fills)
and over-inking, but it may take three to four times longer to produce
your print. Some experimentation may be required to pick the mode best
for your needs.
The enhanced modes are not available when Monochrome is selected.
Three Pass Draft Mode (DRFT 3 PASS) - This mode is faster than
three pass enhanced mode with a slight decrease in output quality.
Three Pass Enhanced Mode (ENHC 3 PASS) - This mode provides a
balance of speed and quality. It produces excellent quality prints for the
majority of your images on any of ENCAD's premium papers and film.
This is the enhanced print mode the graphics users will use most often.
Four Pass Enhanced Mode (ENHC 4 PASS) - This mode will provide
the best quality image on any of ENCAD's premium papers and film, but
is considerably slower than the other print modes. If you have printed
your image in three pass enhanced and are not satisfied with the quality,
try this mode.
