Printing mode options
affect the speed and accuracy
with which the print head sprays ink onto the paper.
MicroWeave mode applies ink in an intricate pattern to
eliminate the possibility of banding (light, horizontal lines)
that can sometimes occur in normal mode. High Speed
mode prints bidirectionally (one line from right to left and
the next from left to right) to speed up printing. You should
use MicroWeave mode when printing detailed graphic and
photographic images. High Speed mode is good for all
draft copies and for printing text; however, the vertical
alignment in your images may not be as precise.
If You Are New to Color Printing
Color printing with the EPSON Stylus COLOR 200 produces
amazing images, whether you print text, graphics, line
drawings, photographs, or documents containing many
different image types. However you use your color printer,
keep the following in mind:
❑
Leave a large amount of hard disk space free to make room
for your color images. A full-page color photographic
image may require 40MB or more of disk space, depending
on the resolution. To reduce file size, you can decrease the
size and resolution of your images using your printer
driver and application software.
❑
Color printing takes time because of the complex
processing required to create a color image. How much
time depends on the size and type of your image, the
resolution you use, and the speed of your computer.
However, the fantastic results make the time spent well
worth it.
