Choice of print mode
There are several modes of printing, which are compromises between image
quality and speed. When printing heavy renderings, maps, or art graphics,
choose one of the quality printing modes. Certain types of media also require
quality printing modes.
To select the appropriate printing mode for a specific print job, refer to ‘Set
print passes’ on page 96.
Ink cartridge preparation and alignment
Cartridge maintenance and alignment are key factors in printer performance,
which in turn affects colour accuracy and image quality. Use the following
recommendations to keep your cartridges in optimal working condition:
■
Keep the printer service stations clean so that the heads stay clean.
■
Use a loupe to evaluate the registration of test patterns to achieve the best
possible accuracy.
■
Align and check cartridges to make sure all nozzles work properly.
■
Re-align all cartridges when you adjust, move, or replace a cartridge, since
even small, one-pixel errors can affect both colour and image quality.
