A Word about Resolutions, Speed and Quality
The resolution you choose will not only determine print quality, but print speed as
well. If you use a lower resolution Print Mode, you will achieve a much faster print
speed, but may not get the quality needed for photo images. Lower resolutions
apply fewer ink dots per inch, which allows the Print Head to move much faster.
If you use higher resolution Print Modes, you will notice a decrease in print speed
but an improvement in image quality. A higher DPI increases print quality by
increasing the density of the dots per inch. Therefore, we recommend a lower
resolution for cartoon images, but a higher resolution for photo type images.
Print Modes and FastRIP
When first starting out, the most versatile Print Mode combination
for BOTH photos and cartoons is 720 DPI for CMYK/1440 DPI for the
Underbase. For images on light garments in which no Underbase is
used, a 2 Pass Print Mode will result in better color saturation.
CMYK Cartoon and Photo Print Modes
The Fast T-Jet 3 has three basic modes for printing – Cartoon, Photo, and
Underbase. The Cartoon and Photo Print Modes will print the image in color
when printing from FastARTIST or any other graphics program. These two modes
were created to adjust print characteristics based on the image to be printed. If
you are printing vector graphics with spot color, use the Cartoon Print Modes. If
you are printing photo-type bitmap images, use the Photo Print Modes.
Cartoon Print Modes are designed to:
Lay down more ink with good color saturation •
be used for non-critical images •
allow a lower DPI to be selected •
Photo Print Modes are designed to:
Lay down less ink with highly accurate colors •
reproduce an extremely detailed image •
utilize a higher DPI to ensure good print quality •
